are you sure you have javascript developer tools (for sure) in and/or are not missing any library? — acostache

I had an issue when I tried using version 2.0.2, but found that when I reverted back to version 1.4.01 and everything worked again.

If you're using Maven:

<dependency> 
    <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
    <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.01</version>
</dependency>

1.4.01 is the newest version for this lib. As it can be noticed here, 2.0.2 is prior to 1.0.b2

I am coming across this error, i am using selenium webdriver with junit and maven. I have added the dependency but the problem persists. Any suggestions?

You need xml-apis. Have a look at this:http://www.coderanch.com/t/534171/XML/org-dom-ElementTraversal
