How can I travel forward and back in a browser using selenium

Question

Is it possible to travel back and forward in a browser using selenium?

If yes then how? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You can use the Navigate interface to do navigate back and forward in a browser.

It has methods to move back, forward as well as to refresh a page. These are the following methods that you can use.

1. driver.navigate().forward(); – to navigate to the next web page with reference to the browser’s history
2. driver.navigate().back(); – takes back to the previous web page with reference to the browser’s history
3. driver.navigate().refresh(); – to refresh the current web page thereby reloading all the web elements
4. driver.navigate().to(“url”); – to launch a new web browser window and navigate to the specified URL
