How to simulate mouse click on blank area in website by Selenium IDE?

You can use the command:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html")).click();

But sometimes it doesnt take blank spaces,

In such cases, use:

driver.get("//html");

javascript selenium web automation qa

'html' is a special element, what you want is 'body' (the first DOM element that is 'visible')

so please use the following (tested with Chrome confirme working with no problem):

python exampledriver.find_element_by_xpath("//body").click()

javascript selenium web automation qa

The best solution is to just use the keyboard TAB key by executing the following statement.

element.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);

It will focus the next element - thus out of the field - and you will get your desired result.
