My code is like yours but it does not work. Can you please check and see whats wrong?

Im getting below error which means it can not locate the forward button in the calendar but I don't understand why the code even goes there because the month and year I selected is equal to the month
and year displayed. Can you please run my code and see what you get?
your xpath is is not working.
selenium is not able to find the element.
please check the xpath.
Can you please run your code from your end to see if its still working for you? My questions is why does it even
go to the xpath its complaining because the date I selected is current.
xpath was wrong, it was pointing at right side of calender. now it is in left side.
[code:30bxfue1]String monthYearDisplayed = driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//*[@id='ui-datepicker-div']/div[1]/div/div"))
.getText();
[/code:30bxfue1]
That is not the only issue. There are several problems in this code. The xpath for the date is not working either. My questions are:
1. Does your code still work for you?
2. Why does it even try to click the next button when the month and year to be selected is the same as the month and year displayed? I dont understand.
3. Can you print out the text of the date you want to select from your xpath? String text = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='"+day+"']")).getText();

I think it is problem with location problem, when try to access and print "current date", there is mismatch in date and
time. Set to IST timings in your PC and try.
I faced the same problem, month name was not giving expected results., i used http://us.makemytrip.com

3) this xpath is also wrong.
[color=#FF0000:1ji0jdl1]"//a[text()='"+day+"']"[/color:1ji0jdl1]
please watch video about how to make partial xpaths.
2) your xpath was wrong.

Can you click date with your code? driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='"+day+"']")).click();
This is your code and it does not work.
xpath was wrong use this one
[quote:3it4w9qw]driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td/a[text()=" + 28 + "]"))
.click();
[/quote:3it4w9qw]
Thanks, the day xpath is working now. Another issue im facing is the loop. If I want to select the next month, it keeps clicking the next > button until it can't click any more.
it does not stop and click. Does your code work when you select december 20, 2016?

Yes i watched the video and my code is exactly the same as yours. How do you make it stop and click on the day when the month and year displayed is the same as the month
and year selected? It keeps clicking next until the end for me.
