unable to locate element of drop down menu(written in boot strap)

I have used all sorts of locator to locate the web element of drop down but it is not working everytime I am getting this error:

Unable to locate element

I am trying for the given url to login and select the calender here: https://classic.crmpro.com/

I have used following ways to locate after using implicit wait:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(500, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

  1. driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='https://classic.crmpro.com/system/index.cfm?action=calendar&sub=default']")).click();

  2. driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='navmenu']/ul/li[2]/a")).click();

  3. driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@title='Calendar']")).click();

  4. driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Calendar')]")).click();

  5. driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@title='Calendar']")).click(); Thread.sleep(1000);

Every time it is throwing an error like:

Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402 (536cd7adbad73a3783fdc2cab92ab2ba7ec361e1) on port 12336

Is your problem solved? If not, please do this.

The element that you meant is inside the iframe, so you have to switch first.

This is the iframe I mean : By.name("mainpanel")

After login you can do this:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.name("mainpanel")));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@title='Calendar']")).click();

It will click the calendar, but if you just want move to element and make the dropdown appear, then do this:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.name("mainpanel")));
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@title='Calendar']"))).perform();

Following import:

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

Sorry for the credentials, my suggest change your credentials and delete it from this site.

Hope this helps.
