🎥 How to Click the “Forgot Your Password?” Link in OrangeHRM Using CSS Selectors

Описание: Let’s walk through how to target the “Forgot your password?” element using clean, reliable CSS selectors in Selenium.

🧩 The Element We’re Targeting:

You're trying to interact with this element:

"p" class="oxd-text oxd-text--p orangehrm-login-forgot-header"--Forgot your password? "p"

🎯 The Goal:
Select this specific "p" tag and trigger a click to navigate to the password reset page.

✅ Option 1: Use the Unique Class (Best & Cleanest)
Since this paragraph tag has a very specific class, the best approach is:

Use a direct class selector:
p.orangehrm-login-forgot-header

This works perfectly if that class name stays stable across sessions and environments.

✅ Option 2: Use Parent + Child (Slightly Safer)
If you're ever unsure whether this class might be reused elsewhere, you can anchor your selector with its parent container:

For example:
div.orangehrm-login-forgot "p".orangehrm-login-forgot-header

Make sure to inspect the actual parent element to confirm its class.

✅ Option 3: Use XPath for Text Match (If CSS Fails)
If class names turn out to be dynamic or unstable, but the text is consistent, switch to XPath:

Like this:
//p[text()='Forgot your password?']

This is great for ensuring the match is tied directly to visible content.

🧠 Memory Hack:
Remember P.FORGOT

P for paragraph tag

FORGOT is your visual cue from the class name orangehrm-login-forgot-header

Use this mental trigger when you're inspecting similar login flows.

📌 Final Pro Tip:
If your CSS selector isn't working, always double-check:

Is the element inside a modal or iframe?

Is it visible at the time of selection?

Are you using waits correctly?
