Currently have a webpage that has multiple buttons/icons with exact same id, class, etc…, wondering if there is a way to work around establishing test object and, instead, hard-codes the coordinates I want to click on?

Hi Jolina,

you can (coordinates from top left corner)

```auto
WebUI.clickOffset(testObject, coordX, coordY)

```

I was aware of this function, but was confused on how to calculate the coordX and coordY offset values?

Also, in what unit is the offset encoded in?

You can get element coordinates with JavaScript:

```auto
document.onmousemove = function(e){
var x = e.pageX;
var y = e.pageY;
e.target.title = "X is "+x+" and Y is "+y;
};

```

(enter this in dev tools console)

Try using the `WebUI.clickOffset(testObject, coordX, coordY)` method, but set the testObject to the html `<body>` element.

What exactly is your issue?  
What do you mean by “none of them worked”?  
Is this even related to clicking by coordinates?  
If not, it would be the best if you created a new thread, but first make sure to read this:

You need to use `WebUI.switchToIframe()` before interacting with the elements inside of the iframe.

Hi @mikkili.rahul.tej

Please provide the screenshots of the errors, visuals of the page containing the element that you want to click and the console log (copy paste the text in the console tab).

Are you certain about the coordinates of the objects ? How did you arrive at the coordinates ?

Another approach would be to execute javascript ( see `WebUI#executeJavascript` documentation).

> **[\[WebUI\] Execute JavaScript](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/webui-execute-javascript.html)**
>
> Description   Execute JavaScript on the currently selected frame or window. The provided script fragment will be executed as the body of an anonymous function. Since 5.0 Parameters   Param...

First you would retrieve element at the coordinate, `WebUI#executeJavascript` will return a Selenium `WebElement` if an element at that coordinate exists, then you can use `click()` method on the `WebElement`.

> **[DocumentOrShadowRoot.elementFromPoint()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DocumentOrShadowRoot/elementFromPoint)**
>
> The elementFromPoint() method—available on both the Document and ShadowRoot objects—returns the topmost Element at the specified coordinates (relative to the viewport).

Hi Thanh,

Ans1)i tried @Mate_Mrse script to find the coordinates .

Ans2)tried ur way using java script …created a custom keyword and called it in the script .but still having issue .

code

@Keyword

def ClickTO(TestObject to, int timeout) {

```
WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver();

WebElement element=WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(to ,timeout)

JavascriptExecutor executor=((driver) as JavascriptExecutor)

executor.executeScript('arguements[0].clcik()',element)

```

}

**Script**

CustomKeywords.‘keywordPackage.ClickTO.ClickTO’(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/input\_fileName’), 60)

**Log file error**

e[39mTest object with id ‘Object Repository/Pageormance Home/input\_fileName’ does not exist

but when the checked the Xpath .its working fine .

kindly suggest any thing i need to change .

**log view error**

keywordPackage.ClickTO.ClickTO:71

keywordPackage.ClickTO.ClickTO(findTestObject(“Object Repository/PipelineProcess/Page\_Sales Performance Home/input\_fileName”), 60) FAILED.
