从Java中的HTML文件下载Excel文件

Question

I'm using Webdriver to perform all the UI actions. I want to download an excel file on Click operation of a WebElement. The below is the html code of the application.

<span class="excel ExcelLink" onclick="document.expForm.submit();">Download Excel</span>

I'm getting error has this WebElement doesn't have any 'href' attribute present in this. Hence I can't use the "HttpClient" to retrieve the file. how to download in this file in java / javascript?

Kindly suggest.

Answer 1

can u post full link to website? I think you are getting into this from wrong way. See that this element isnt anchor with href button but i suppose its form that redirects U to the file ( maybe file isn't on server just generated for download and than destroyed?). Have U tried executing onclick function??

 <button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
