Commands
========

The following is a list of the available WebDriver commands.

Close WindowThe *Close Window* command of the WebDriver API closes the current top-level browsing context (window or tab) and returns with the list of currently open `WebWindow`s. If it is the last window that is being closed, the WebDriver session will implicitly be deleted. Subsequent commands after the session is ended will therefore cause invalid session ID errors.

Get Element AttributeThe *Get Element Attribute* command of the WebDriver API returns the attribute of the referenced web element. If for example the element is an `img`, the returned attribute is `"//TODO"`, which is equivalent to calling `Element.getAttribute` on the element. For XML/XHTML documents it may be cased differently.

Get Element PropertyThe *Get Element Property* command of the WebDriver API returns the property of the referenced web element. Given `<input value=foo>` where the user changes the value to `bar`, the returned property is `bar` rather than the initial value `foo`. This is equivalent to calling `Element.getProperty` on the element.

Get Element Tag NameThe *Get Element Tag Name* command of the WebDriver API returns the tag name of the referenced web element. If for example the element is an `img`, the returned tag name is `"IMG"`, which is equivalent to calling `Element.tagName` on the element. For XML/XHTML documents it may be cased differently.

Get TimeoutsThe *Get Timeouts* command of the WebDriver API returns the timeouts associated with the current session. The session timeout durations control such behavior as timeouts on script injection, document navigation, and element retrieval.

Get Window HandlesThe *Get Window Handles* command of the WebDriver API returns a list of all `WebWindow`s. Each tab or window, depending on whether you are using a tabbed browser, is associated by a *window handle* that is used as a reference when switching to the window.

Get Window RectThe *Get Window Rect* command of the WebDriver API returns the size and position of the given `WebElement`. Many WebDriver clients present separate API methods for getting an element's location and dimensions, but as an optimization they both use this primitive.

New WindowThe *New Window* command of the WebDriver API opens a new top-level browsing context of type *window* or *tab*, and returns with a dictionary containing the *handle* of the new WebWindow and its created *type*. If the requested *type* cannot be created by the browser, the alternative type will be tried to create.

Set TimeoutsThe *Set Timeouts* command of the WebDriver API sets the timeouts associated with the current session. The session timeout durations control such behavior as timeouts on script injection, document navigation, and element retrieval.

Set Window RectThe *Set Window Rect* command of the WebDriver API alters the size and position of the operating system window associated with the current `window`. The command acts as the setter of Get Window Rect, which return object you can pass directly as this command's payload.
