title: Selenium beginner question
body: <p>I am just trying to understand and learn selenium. I used  IDE to record my actions and tried to playback but I am kind of  stuck on the first step.</p>
  
  <p>What I am trying is basically login to our internal site and then click on menu bar to navigate to an internal page.  Selenium logs in but fails at the click event with error message -</p>
  
  <pre><code>[error] Element css=#ui-active-menuitem &gt; span.wijmo-wijmenu-text &gt; span.wijmo-wijmenu-text not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This site is generated using primeface and when I see the source code, the line that generate error is something like-</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div align="left" class="container"&gt;&lt;div id="menu"&gt;&lt;ul id="menu_menu"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;
  &lt;span class="wijmo-wijmenu-text"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="home"&gt;home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;&lt;span class="wijmo-wijmenu-text"&gt;Tills&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="tills"&gt;Manage&lt;/a&gt;........
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I must tell here that as long as I am not clicking on above menu item, I am able to run all tests through Selenium ID but clicking on above menu after login is essential to get to inner pages. </p>
  
  <p>You help/guidance is much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
