Using Selenium to Determining The Visibility of Elements for Print media
- by Tom Howard
I would like to determine if particular elements on a page are visible when printed as controlled by CSS @media rules.
Is there a way to do this with Selenium?
I know there is the isDisplayed method, which takes the CSS into account, but there is nothing I can find to tell Selenium which media type to apply.
Is there a way to do this?
Or is there another way to test web pages to make sure the elements you want are printed (and those you don't aren't)?
Update:
For clarity, there are no plans to have a javascript print button. The users will print using the normal print functionality of the browser (Chrome, FF and IE). @media css rules will be used to control what is shown and hidden. I would like Selenium to pretend it is a printer instead of a screen, so I can test if certain elements will be visible in what would be the printed version of the page.
