    Hi,

    Web applications are extremely inconsistent and may use dozens of different techniques within the same application to do the same thing: set element itself as disabled, set its parent as disabled (or parent of the parent, or...), change applied class during runtime, ...

    The most easy and effective way to answer your question is to ask developers about how this button is disabled.

    If developers are not accessible then you will have to spend your time investigating differences between the enabled and disabled button (and its parent(s) ) in the Object Browser to find out the proper indicator.

    Hi, I am also facing the same issue which u mentioned. How did u solve it? Could you please help me with the same. 

    On first page my property is class = "ui-paginator" and last page the property is class = "ui-paginator disabled".

     

    How did you put the loop which doesn't go in infinite. I have used do-while loop so that even through condition is false it should run once.
