Selenium - WebElement.isEnabled() vs Canvas.isEnabled()

[couimet]

In our WebDriver tests, we're able to locate ImgButton objects.

We want our tests to validate whether the buttons are enabled/disabled in the UI.

We initially thought we could use WebElement.isEnabled() from Selenium's API, but it seems to always return true for elements we locate using

ByScLocator.scLocator("//ImgButton[ID='<whatever id we provide>'")

Question #1)
Using WebDriver, what is the best practice to get the equivalent of Canvas.isEnabled() / Canvas.isDisabled() ?

Question #2)
Is Selenium's API WebElement.isDisplayed() reliable ?

Thank you !

As with your other recent questions, if you are not trying to emulate a user action, executing JavaScript is the right approach for checking component states or anything else that occurs to you as a programmatic test that is not an end user action. So the best practice for determining "isEnabled()" is just to call "isEnabled()".

As far as WebElement.isDisplayed() - what are you trying to test with this? It's not clear if it will correctly take into account things like occlusion, partial occlusion, scrolling out of view, modal dialogs, etc.
