How can I select a link with selenium webdriver?
Selenium before would be done by:
selenium.click("link=Users");
But how can I do the same with webdriver?
I thought about
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Users")).click();
but this does not work. No link is clicked!
<html>
<body>
<div id="mainpage" class="mainpage">
<div id="pageid" class="pageid">
<div id="body">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="id_menu" class="mymenu">
<ul>
<li class="li_class ">
<a href="/user.xhtml">Users</a>

This should work:
driver.findElement(By.LinkText("Users")).click();
By LinkText is possible
XPath is one of the most exact ways to point the element.
Try this:
driver.findElement(By.XPath("//li[@class='li_class']/a")).Click();
