Webdriver/Selenium Difference between methods .isDisplayed() and .isEnabled()?

Hi All,
I have seen so many posts where people asked the differences between .isDisplayed() and .isEnabled() in Selenium/Webdriver automation and found mostly people are still confused.
The methods .isDisplayed() and .isEnabled() have nothing in common.
 Here I am trying to explain the read differences between .isDisplayed() and .isEnabled(). As name itself clearly says .isDisplayed() means is my object are visible or not on my webpage means Am I able to see my element through my eyes.


Method .isDisplayed() :


An element is considered displayed when it is perceptually visible to the human eye.
The element displayed algorithm is a boolean state where true signifies that the element is displayed and false signifies that the element is not displayed.

To compute the state on element:
  • ·         If the attribute hidden is set, return false.
  • ·         If the computed value of the display style property is "none", return false.

Like
<input type="hidden" name="abc" value="10" id="hiddenFiled1" />

Observe the output, since element with id hiddenField1 is hidden from web page, so isDisplayed method return false, whereas isEnabled() method return true.

Try to run with display: block;  and display: none;




Method .isEnabled() :


An element is considered enabled if it's not a form control (button, input, textarea, select or option) or when the user interactions and focus are not blocked with the disabled attribute/property.
Is Element Enabled determines if the referenced element is enabled or not. This operation only makes sense on form controls.

Like
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" disabled><br>













Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" enabled><br>

Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" disabled><br>
