Selenium RC Automation "Element Not found error"

Question

Selenium RC Automation "Element Not found error"

I am presently automating my project. However when playing back the script I am getting element not found error for a button. I copied XPATH of the button from the firebug

The XPATH is as follows got from firebug:

/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div/form/table/tbody/tr[23]/td[2]/input

So I wrote in code:

Selenium.click("xpath=/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div/form/table/tbody/tr[23]/td[2]/input");

Still I am getting the same error as element not found

I am using Java. I copied script from selenium IDE in JUnit 4 — nikhil udgirkar, Nov 09 '12 at 03:53
It's too big to paste it here. What part of html page do u want me to copy? — nikhil udgirkar, Nov 20 '12 at 10:49
The Xpath I have got is ".//*[@id='bgcontainer']/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/form/table/tbody/tr[23]/td[2]/input" for button "Continue" but when I use it in code i.e. selenium.click("xpath=.//*[@id='bgcontainer']/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/form/table/tbody/tr[23]/td[2]/input"); I get error that element not found. Please help it's urgent — nikhil udgirkar, Nov 20 '12 at 12:48

Try using css path and check. Still, if this is not working, try to use the selenium command

selenium.isElementPresent("id or xpath or css of your continue button");

and check if the element is present in the web page.

Also make sure that the Continue button is not present inside any other frames.
