Directly Executing Javascript
^^^^^
**Definition:**

* Since WebDriver can directly execute any arbitrary JavaScript, it can be tempting to bypass DOM manipulation and just run the JavaScript.


**Code Example:**

.. code-block:: java

  public void RemoveTea(string teaType)
  {
    (driver as IJavaScriptExecutor).ExecuteScript(string.Format("viewModel.tea.types.removeTeaType(\"{0}\");", teaType));
  }
