I have opened https://web.whatsapp.com . I want to click the "New Chat" button using JS. I tried searching using class name but it's not clicking. Why ?

Please remove space after https in link.

What I have done so far from chrome console, var opennewchat = document.getElementsByClassName("icon icon-chat"); opennewchat[0].click();

Inspect Element Screenshot: http:// image.prntscr.com/image/5cb835ac06f248008401bacc8a80ecf7.png

But this is not working :/ Any idea why ?

`querySelector` is quite useful in this scenario `document.querySelector(".icon.icon-chat").click()` – Satpal Apr 25 '17 at 04:51
Still it is not clicking. – John Jonathan Apr 25 '17 at 04:52
