Selenium Webdriver click not working

Question

I am trying to use the selenium webdriver to automate my testing I am using selenium 2.39.0 and firefox 26.0 I am tryign a simple example example for a click but its failing The element is selected because a sysout on the selected element text gives "create account".But its not able to click the button

 WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page");
System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.id("pt-createaccount")).getText());
driver.findElement(By.id("pt-createaccount")).click();
assertEquals("Create account - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();

Any help is appreciated

Tried all the below things Got a reply from the selenium google group and this worked

Please open the system display settings and ensure that font size is set to 100%, see the attached screenshot. https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=6756

• LaurentG: pt-createaccount is not a link but a li. I can imagine that it could be the problem for Selenium. Have you tried to use driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create account")).click(); ?

Answer 1

You need to click on "a" element:

IWebElement createAccountLink = driver.findElement(By.id("pt-createaccount")).FindElement(By.TagName("a")); 
createAccountLink.Click();

Answer 2

public class Wiki
{
 @Test
 public void createAccount() throws InterruptedException
 {
 WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
 WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver,60);
 driver.get("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page");
 driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create account")).click();
 wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("Create account - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"));
 Assert.assertEquals("Create account - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia",driver.getTitle());
 driver.quit();
 }
}
