Trying to get specific attribute in Selenium Webdriver

Question

I am tring to get the attribute type="radio" but I'm not sure how to in the selenium webdriver. I tried by using

if(driver.findElement(By.id("userStatusEnable")).getAttribute("type").equals("radio"))

and also by changing the id to x-auto-210

<div id="userStatusEnable" class="x-form-check-wrap x-form-field x-component " role="presentation" style="position: relative;">
<input id="x-auto-210" class=" x-form-radio" type="radio" name="gxt.RadioGroup.5" style="position: relative; left: 0px; top: 4px;" tabindex="0" value="enabled" aria-describedby="x-auto-190" checked="">
<label class="x-form-cb-label" for="x-auto-210" htmlfor="x-auto-210" style="position: relative; left: 1px; top: 3px;">Enable</label>
</div>

What exactly are you trying to do? Find the element with type="radio", or verify an element found with another selector has type="radio"? — Richard

One possible approach is to use findElements() and an xpath selector to find input tags with a type="radio":

if(driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@type='radio']")).size() == 2)

seems that OP needs to be sure that there are two radios of specific ID, then it would be: if(driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@id='x-auto-210'][@type='radio']")).size() == 2)

From your question it sounds like you want to find all input elements with the id x-auto-210 and the type radio. You can do that with the following XPath:

"//input[@id='x-auto-210' and @type='radio']"

I've added an explanation of what the XPath expression is doing

The // says we want to search all element
The input means we are only interested in input elements
The [] contains the conditions we want the input to match (namely, that the id is x-auto-210 and the type is radio)

If you use this expression in conjunction with findElements in selenium, you should be able to find the desired elements

if (driver.findElements(By.XPath("//input[@id='x-auto-210' and @type='radio']")).size() == 2) {
    //Do stuff
}
