especial methods

Then we can’t hanle the time used for pages loading.

                           ===》

Ø  Link[1].Click()

Ø  Link(Find.ByIndex(1)).Click()

We can use these two methods to click the links that the value is null.

Ø  WaitForPageToLoad(“5000”)

(if we want to go to another page and get the elements in the new page, we have to use the method, or we will in the old page.)

《==    We can’t find the links that the value is null
