    • Link text-based locators are case-sensitive.
    • If there are multiple links with the same link text, the By.linkText() or By.partialLinkText() method will only find the first matching link.
    • The findElements() method can be used to find all elements matching the locator criteria.
    • When multiple links with the same link text are present, By.linkText() or By.partialLinkText() can be used, and the first matching link will be accessed.
    • The purpose of an anchor tag (<a>) is to create hyperlinks on a web page.
    • The By.linkText() method is used to access links using their exact link text.

    • The findElements() method finds all elements in the page matching the locator criteria.

    Partial Link Text and Case Sensitivity

    • Parameters for By.linkText() and By.partialLinkText() are case-sensitive.

    Complex Link Text and Accessing Links

    • The By.partialLinkText() method is commonly used to access links with complex and non-readable link text.
    • By.linkText() and By.partialLinkText() methods can access links located inside block-level elements.

    Code Examples

    • The code driver.findElement(By.linkText("click here")).click(); is used to click on a link with the exact text "click here".
    • The code driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("here")).click(); is used to click on a link containing the partial text "here".
    • The code String theLinkText = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("egis")).getText(); is used to get the text of a link containing the partial text "egis".
    • The code driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Inside")).click(); is used to click on a link containing the partial text "Inside".
