How to Read Text from Hidden Element with Selenium Webdriver

How to read text from hidden element with Selenium WebDriver?

EDIT: Oh this works.

String script = "return document.getElementById('hidden_div').innerHTML";

In firefox.

And so does this.

String script = "return arguments[0].innerHTML";

I tried as well but it does not seem to work with pure Javascript. Start the browser with
Jquery as mentioned here. How to use JQuery in Selenium? and use following code for script.

String script = "return $('#hidden_div').text();";

This works.

Instead of element.text use element.get_attribute("textContent")

flight_code=row.find_element_by_class_name("fbold").get_attribute("textContent")

Update:

After click on more button you need to wait for element to be visible.Use Explicit wait.

WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,".data-row")))

Get text from hidden elements using Selenium WebDriver vba

If you test the .Attribute("style"), of a given node, return value you can determine if display:none ;

E.g. pseudo code

If <node>.Attribute("style") = "display:none ;" Then
    ' do something....
Else
   'do something different
End If

You can also test for substrings with Instr

If Instr(<node>.Attribute("style"), "display:none")  > 0 Then
    ' do something....
Else
   'do something different
End If

<node> is a placeholder for your node/element in the current iteration at whatever level the test needs to be; not clear from your question.
