Using relative locators

The following are examples of using relative locators:

// find the height input using toRightOf relative locator
// input is right of height label
WebElement heightInput = driver.findElement(with(By.tagName("input"))
   .toRightOf(heightLabel));

// find the calculate button which is below the weight label
WebElement calculateButton = driver.findElement(with(By.tagName("input"))
   .below(weightLabel));

Running Tests

To run single test
    $ mvn test -D suite=single.xml -Dtestng.dtd.http=true
