Problems to click in a JQUERY element using Selenium Webdriver

I'm trying to click in some JQUERY elements from a very known website to practice Selenium (http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/jqueryui/menu).
I figured out how to navigate into the menu (not sure if my code is a good solution), however am not being able to click in each last submenu option (PDF, CSV, Excel)
I'm trying something like below:
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
Action mouseOverMenu;
mouseOverMenu = builder.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("ui-id-2"))).build();
mouseOverMenu.perform(); //accessing Enabled menu option
mouseOverMenu = builder.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("ui-id-4"))).build();
mouseOverMenu.perform(); //accessing Downloads submenu option
String jQuerySelector = "$('a#ui-id-6.ui-corner-all')";
WebElement webElement = (WebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return $(" + jQuerySelector+ ").get(0);");
//click() also did not work
WebElement webElement = (WebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return $(" + jQuerySelector+ ").click();");

Your JavaScript function of click is wrong.
Use below javascript syntax
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", WebElement);
Below code works for me:
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
Action mouseOverMenu;
mouseOverMenu = builder.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("ui-id-2"))).build();
mouseOverMenu.perform(); //accessing Enabled menu option
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("ui-id-4")));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("ui-id-4")));
mouseOverMenu = builder.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("ui-id-4"))).build();
mouseOverMenu.perform(); //accessing Downloads submenu option
WebElement webElement2= driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a#ui-id-6.ui-corner-all")); // #ui-id-6 is for pdf, #ui-id-7 csv so on
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", webElement2);

Trying to hover mouse over tabs and perform automated click on a particular item in Selenium

I am trying to perform a mouse hover over a Men category tab and select "Shirts" category on this website. However I am not able to click the "shirts" category in Men item also I m not getting any error too. Here is my code:
public void PurchaseItemTest() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
Thread.sleep(3000);
//util.clickbyXpath(Constants.MENCATEGORYTAB);
WebElement element = util.getdriver().findElement(By.xpath("//a[#class='accord-header' ]"));
Actions action = new Actions(util.getdriver());
action.moveToElement(element).moveToElement(util.getdriver().findElement(By.xpath("//a[#class='accord-header' and contains(.,'Men')]"))).moveToElement(util.getdriver().findElement(By.xpath("//a[#title='Shirts']"))).click().build().perform();

This works:
final By DROPDOWN = By.cssSelector("li[class='atg_store_dropDownParent']");
final By DROPDOWN_LINK = By.cssSelector("a[class='accord-header ']");
List<WebElement> dropdowns = new WebDriverWait(util.getDriver(), 5)
.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(DROPDOWN));
WebElement men = dropdowns.stream()
.flatMap(dropdown -> dropdown.findElements(DROPDOWN_LINK).stream())
.filter(link -> link.getText().equals("MEN"))
.findFirst()
.orElse(null);
if(men != null) {
new WebDriverWait(util.getDriver(), 5)
.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(men));
Actions action = new Actions(util.getDriver());
action.moveToElement(men).build().perform();
new WebDriverWait(util.getDriver(), 5)
.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(SHIRTS))
.click();
}
Your xpath for the Men category tab was acting wonky for me. When you hover, make sure to wait for the "Shirts" link to be clickable before clicking. Also, avoid using Thread#sleep() with Selenium. Use Explicit Waits instead.

how to select the drop down box in selenium web driver

Select se = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='33629']/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/select")));
se.selectByIndex(7);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='33629']/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/select/option[8]")).click();
Above code doesn't work,please help
Error returned:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchWindowException: no such window: target window already closed from unknown error: web view not found

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchWindowException: no such window
Means the browser is close when you are trying to interact with it. Remove driver.close() from your code and put it only after you have finished all you interactions with the browser.
Edit
If you need to return to parent window after closing child window use driver.switchTo() again
// get parent window ID
String parentHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
// switch to the new window
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
if (!handle.equals(parentHandle))
{
driver.switchTo().window(handle);
}
}
//do something with the new window
// switch back to the old window
driver.close();
driver.switchTo().window(parentHandle);

windowIdbefore = driver.getWindowHandle();
System.out.println(windowIdbefore);
Set<String> windowid = driver.getWindowHandles();
for (String string : windowid) {
System.out.println(string);
driver.switchTo().window(string);
// enter code here
}
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
Select s=new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpathExpression")));
s.selectByVisibleText("text");
s.selectByValue("value");
s.selectByIndex(1);

as i see here the dropdown box is present in div tag. i think with your code dropdown has been located but you are not able to select the value present in dropdown. Then follow below code
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(d, 10);
Actions builder = new Actions(d);
WebElement selectvalue = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("your drop down xpath value")));
builder.mouse.mouseMove(((Locatable)selectvalue).coordinates);
selectvalue.click();
WebElement option = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("locator value of dropdown value(your dropdown value)")));
builder.mouse.mouseMove(((Locatable)option).coordinates);
option.click();
System.out.println("dropdown value slected...");

Selenium not click proper target in IE via moveToElement, works in Chrome

I'm using the following to navigate a menu in Selenium. It works perfectly in Chrome, however in IE, it ends up clicking the menu below my target and the submenu item becomes completely inaccessible.
// Actions not supported by FireFox's Marionette Driver, use chrome or ie.
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.id("m7f8f3e49_ns_menu_INVENTOR_MODULE_a_tnode"));
System.out.println("Found the inventory text");
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink);
WebElement subLink = driver.findElement(By.id("m7f8f3e49_ns_menu_INVENTOR_MODULE_sub_changeapp_INVENTOR_a"));
actions.moveToElement(subLink);
actions.click();
actions.perform();
And here is where the drive is initialized
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\Selenium\\IEDriverServer64.exe");
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
I would like to be able to click on the proper menu item to continue with my testing.

I managed to get a working solution by moving the cursor over from the offset. Not sure how well this will work across screens.
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText(arg1));
//<span id="m7f8f3e49_ns_menu_INVENTOR_MODULE_a_tnode">Inventory</span>
System.out.println("Found the inventory text");
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink);
actions.moveByOffset(100, 10);
Thread.sleep(1000);
//actions.moveByOffset(45, 0);
WebElement subLink = driver.findElement(By.
id("m7f8f3e49_ns_menu_INVENTOR_MODULE_sub_changeapp_SRVITEM_a_tnode"));
actions.moveToElement(subLink, 100, 12)
.click().perform();

IE11 actions.moveToElement() is not working

In an specific Env. the workflow is as following:
Click on the "Main Menu"->Drop Down list opens
Click "Build" from drop down->another sub menu opens beside
Click "Edit" then
Now the following given selenium code is correctly executing on Chrome and Firefox but not in IE11.
//Main Menu opens then-->
WebElement build = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Build"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(build);
actions.click();
actions.build().perform();
Thread.sleep(2000);
WebElement edit = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Edit"));
edit.click();
Now problem is as follows:
In IE11, the moveToElement(build) not actually performing. So after clicking the "Main Menu" it stops at that position only. The main menu keeps opening there but not clicking the next option that is "Build"

Had the problem like this one
InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.EnablePersistentHover = false;
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
The key is:
options.EnablePersistentHover = false;
Regarding the problem with holding on the menu item to display child menu:
Seems, you've been using this approach:
WebElement edit = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Edit"));
edit.click();
Try the same. For example:
WebElement build = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Build"));
Thread.sleep(1000);
build.click();
Thread.sleep(1000);
WebElement edit = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Edit"));
edit.click();
After try to remove Thread::sleep rows. It is like a hardcode and you may use this approach:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeoutInSeconds);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.linkText("Edit"));
