how to check checkbox in Selenium with java?

Question

I want check a checkbox in Selenium WebDriver with java , but It returns an exception ElementNotVisibleException.Element is currently not visible ...

The element is invisible but not hidden. I tried it with both firefox and PhantomJS but it doesn't work.

I found many suggestions here but it still not work

HTML code :

<span class="checkbox"> 
<input id="terms-checkbox" class="required" type="checkbox" name="terms_agreement">
</input> 
<label for="terms-checkbox"></label>
</span>

Add some more details: HTML, what have you tried, and so on. Refer to stackoverflow.com/questions/16651610/… — olyv

for (int second = 0;; second++) { if (second >= 60) fail("timeout"); try { if (isElementPresent(By.id("terms-checkbox"))) break; } catch (Exception e) {} Thread.sleep(1000); } driver.findElement(By.id("terms-checkbox")).click(); — Wal

As mentioned in question, the element is not hidden but could not find. So, it may be visible through label tag. You should try with the below code:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@for='terms-checkbox']")).click();
