                      <div class="item">
                        <a href="CreateUserDocument.aspx?code=Presentation_PDF_RES_Mtg">
                            <img src="Custom/Themes/Vanguard/Inserts/images/carousel/Crsl_RES_Pres.jpg" alt="">
                        </a>
                      </div><!-- End of div.item -->
                        </div>

I want to click the last hyperlink after page load.Landing page has sso authentication, so i added implicit wait for 20 seconds after page load.

java code

driver = (WebDriver) new InternetExplorerDriver(capab1);
driver.get("url");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href = 'CreateUserDocument.aspx?code=Presentation_PDF_RES_Mtg']")).click();

I use Selenium 2.44 library with 2.32 IEDriverServer.exe in 32 bit IE 9 browser.

Any thoughts are appreciated.Thanks !

From what I can see, it's a Carousel Slider . So, probably you have to wait till the item comes up. Try the below code and see if it works:

    try{
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,40);
        WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[@href = 'CreateUserDocument.aspx?code=Presentation_PDF_RES_Mtg']")));
        element.click();
    }catch(Throwable e){
        System.err.println("Error found while waiting for the element and clicking it: "+e.getMessage());
    }

Before that switch to iframe using the below code:

 try{
     WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
     wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt("widgetFrame"));
    }catch(Throwable e){
        System.err.println("Error came while waiting and switching to frame. "+e.getMessage());
    }
