Selenium Web Driver [IE only] All web elements are frozen after logon
[Environment] Selenium version: selenium-server-2.26.0 OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (both 32 bit and 64 bit) Browser: IE 9 and IE8 Browser version: IE9/8 [Related Issue] Just a reference: This issue was found together with Issue4823 (http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4823). They may have some connections or not. [What steps will reproduce the problem] 1. Use the following to create IE driver: -------------------------- //Use IE driver File file = new File("E:/SW/Selenium/IEDriverServer32.exe"); System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath()); DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true); capabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings",true); driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities); baseUrl = "http://10.1.3.12/"; driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); 2. Use following code to open Login page, input username and password: -------------------------- driver.get(baseUrl); driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys("admin"); driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys("admin"); 3. Use the following to click the Submit button to login. -------------------------- driver.findElement(By.id("login_submit")).click(); [What is the expected output] After click Submit, it can logon, and all the web elements still work in logged on UI. [What do you see instead] 1. After click Submit button, it can logon. But all the UI elements in the logged on page are frozen. Click on any of them, no response. 2. If use the following code to replace Steps 3 (i.e. driver.findElement(By.id("login_submit")).click()), after logon, all UI elements work as expected. -------------------------- JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; js.executeScript("document.getElementById(\"login_submit\").click()",true); [Additional Information] This issue does NOT occur on Firefox.
Answer:
if "UI elements in the logged on page are frozen" means "i can not interact with page manually" try set "enablePersistentHover" desired capabilities to false
The whole code

Done.
