Consider if multiple classes are applied to an element, then how to identify it using CSS locator?

See the below HTML element is applied with three CSS classes (i.e. fac, important & cls).

<font class="fac important cls">MULTI CSS</font>

This element can be identified using CSS locator with all the three classes as given below:

String strText1;
strText1=selenium.getText("css=font.fac&&font.important&&font.cls");//Multi CSS
System.out.println(strText1);

# accept()
This method can be used to click 'OK' button in a popup


WebDriver firefoxDriver=new FirefoxDriver();
Alert alert = firefoxDriver.switchTo().alert();//Creating object for Alert class
alert.accept();//Clicking OK button

# dismiss()
Canceling popup using dismiss method


WebDriver firefoxDriver=new FirefoxDriver();
Alert alert = firefoxDriver.switchTo().alert();
alert.dismiss();//Canceling the popup

# getText()
Getting popup text


String strAlertText;
WebDriver firefoxDriver=new FirefoxDriver();
Alert alert = firefoxDriver.switchTo().alert();
strAlertText=alert.getText();//This line retrieves text from popup. 
System.out.println(strAlertText);
