title: How to implement PhantomJS with Selenium WebDriver using java
body: <p>I'm going mad, really. I have this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Creazione extends TestCase {
      private PhantomJSDriver driver;
      private String baseUrl;
      private boolean acceptNextAlert = true;
      private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
  
      @Before
      public void setUp() throws Exception {
          File file = new File("C:/Program Files/phantomjs-1.9.7-windows/phantomjs.exe");
          System.setProperty("phantomjs.binary.path", file.getAbsolutePath());
          driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
          baseUrl = "http://www.gts.fiorentina.test/";
          driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          driver.get(baseUrl + "/Account/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f");
          findDynamicElement(By.id("tbUserName_I"), 2000);
          driver.findElement(By.id("tbUserName_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("tbUserName_I")).sendKeys("rogai");
          driver.findElement(By.id("tbPassword_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("tbPassword_I")).sendKeys("Fiorentina2014!");
          driver.findElement(By.id("btnLogin_CD")).click();
          driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
      }
  
      @Test
      public void testCreazione() throws Exception {
          driver.get(baseUrl + "/SegreteriaSportiva/Calciatori.aspx");
          findDynamicElement(By.cssSelector("#ASPxButton1_CD &gt; span"), 2000);
          driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#ASPxButton1_CD &gt; span")).click();
          findDynamicElement(By.id("FrmEdit_TS_TipoPersonaId_FK_B-1"), 2000);
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_TS_TipoPersonaId_FK_B-1")).click();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_TS_TipoPersonaId_FK_DDD_L_LBI2T0")).click();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_Nome_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_Nome_I")).sendKeys("Prova");
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_Cognome_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_Cognome_I")).sendKeys("Calciatore");
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_TS_RuoloId_FK_B-1")).click();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_TS_RuoloId_FK_DDD_L_LBI3T0")).click();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_DataNascita_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_DataNascita_I")).sendKeys("01/01/2014");
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_Cittadinanza_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_Cittadinanza_I")).sendKeys("italiana");
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_LuogoNascita_I")).clear();
          driver.findElement(By.id("FrmEdit_LuogoNascita_I")).sendKeys("roma");
          driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#BTN_Edit_CD &gt; span")).click();
          driver.findElement(By.id("Grid_DXFREditorcol3_I")).click();
          driver.findElement(By.id("Grid_DXFREditorcol3_I")).sendKeys("Prova");
          assertEquals("Prova",driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[@id='Grid_DXDataRow0']/td[3]")).getText());
      }
  }
