How to multi select the items in table without using action class for IE browser

Question

IE browser does not support Action class. Is it possible to multi select the items in a table using any other way? If any, please share.

Please find the sample structure of the table to select the values. Now i want to select the Text1, Text3 & Text5 values. Am able to select using Action class in Chrome, FF browser using selenium 2.52.0 but not able to select in IE/Safari.

<table>
<tr><td><div><span>Text1<span/><div/><td/><tr/>
<tr><td><div><span>Text2<span/><div/><td/><tr/>
<tr><td><div><span>Text3<span/><div/><td/><tr/>
<tr><td><div><span>Text4<span/><div/><td/><tr/>
<tr><td><div><span>Text5<span/><div/><td/><tr/>
<table>

Function used to click:

String[] items = itemName.split("\n");// Items to be clicked
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
for(int counter = 0; counter < items.length; counter++) 
{
    this.listingRows = this.listing.findElement(By.cssSelector("table[id='mainTable']"));
    List<WebElement> element = listingRows.findElements(By.cssSelector("tr[class='sample']>td>div>span")); //Getting the row elements
    int itemCnt =  element.size();
    String item;
    for(int i =0;i<itemCnt;i++){
    item = element.get(i).getText();            
    if(item.equalsIgnoreCase(items[counter])){
    builder.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).click(element.get(i)).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL);
    builder.build().perform();
     }
     }
    }

Please provide the code you have tried and the execution result including any error messages, etc. Also provide a link to the page and/or the relevant HTML. — JeffC, Oct 07 '16 at 20:56

First, you can inspect the table

WebElement data1=d.findElement(By.xpath(""));

then, select row by row

List<WebElement> tableRows = data1.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));

using loop you can repeat through out the columns

for (int i=0; i<rowSize; i++) 
    {
        WebElement webRow = tableRows.get(i);
        //Get all cell values in each row
        List<WebElement> allCells = webRow.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
        //System.out.println(allCells.size());
        if(allCells.size() > 1)
        {
            row = st1.createRow(i);
            for (int j=0; j<allCells.size(); j++)
            {
                WebElement webCell = allCells.get(j);
                String text = webCell.getText();
                if(text.length()>3)
                {
                    cell = row.createCell(j);
                    cell.setCellValue(webCell.getText());
                }
            }
        }

try once..!!

I wanted to click the multiple elements not getting the elements. Please see the updated question — Praveen Kumar S, Jan 18 '17 at 11:01
