  I do not have selenium set up with Java here, but just to clarify,
  

  • Are you getting the correct number of check boxes in the list List Checkbox
  • The case of String id =El.getAttribute("value"); is same as the one passed in EventCategory.

  #-Link-Snipped-# Thnaks for looking into it.
  I am getting correct number of checkboxes in List .i.e 15 .
  But problem is in Web element El I am getting all checkboxes values and then with
  if(id.equals(EventCategory) it compares all values with one value in 'EventCategory' and fails.
  Do I need iterate a list of WebElements and then compare it with EventCategory and then perform action of Click() ?

  I think you are correct in a way.
  I would try this if I were you
  

  1. Get the list of check boxes (You already done that)
  2. Iterate through the list of check boxes with value attribute
  3. try something like this

  String id = Checkbox.get(i).getAttribute("value");
   if(id.equals(EventCategory))
   {
  Checkbox.get(i).click();
  // break if its only going to be one value.
   }
  

  Does this give you the correct output?
  The code above needs to be optimized ( Calling .get(i) twice...).
  
  If not let me know.

  I think what gave above is correct, can you also perform trim as well. ( I think you might have done it already though)..

  #-Link-Snipped-# I tried this piece of code but it is not working. Do I need to use Iterator() method or ListIterator() method in java to iterate through the list of check boxes with value attribute?

  Thanks #-Link-Snipped-# for looking into it. I have not used trim() function as of now. I am JAVA beginner, thus not sure of what all function should be suitable for which condition. I will try in my code and let you know.

  Hello ,
  
  I tried below piece and it worked :
  
  

  List Checkbox = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@type='checkbox']"));
          int i=0;
          while(i

  So the wait statement did the trick!
  So always use it whenever something doesnt work, it helps. And Instead of using something like as implicit wait create something for explicit wait , I mean a user defined wait function to wait for appropriate times.

  Issue with this code, is the hard-coded 5000 seconds.
  Ideally it would wait till the element is loaded.
  In this way you can maintain log of loading times of all controls on UI.
  But this doesn't seem to be with the context of the question asked.
