Another new experimental feature introduces the ability to replace the commonly-used element() method with ‘$’, as illustrated in the following examples:

    ...
    @FindBy(name="search")
    private WebElement searchTerms;

    @FindBy(name="go")
    private WebElement lookupButton;

    public DictionaryPage(WebDriver driver) {
        super(driver);
    }

    public void enter_keywords(String keyword) {
        $(searchTerms).type(keyword);
    }

    public void lookup_terms() {
        $(lookupButton).click();
    }

    public void click_on_article(int articleNumber) {
        $("//section[@id='searchResults']/article[" + articleNumber + "]//a").click();
    }

    public String getHeading() {
        return $("section>h1").getText()
    }
}
