Utility to check element present or not

See original GitHub issue

Meta -

OS: Any

Selenium Version: 2.53

Browser: chrome

Browser Version: 50.0.2661.94 m

Expected Behavior -

It’s better to have an utility method (inside selenium api) which will allow us to check particular web element is present or not. Please let me know if there is any api available already.

Actual Behavior -

we need to get elements(instead of element) then we need to check the size of the elements, like below.

List<WebElement> elements=driver.findElements(By.className("myCSS"));
        if(elements.size()>=1){
            --do some operation
        }

Steps to reproduce -

Get an element, and check whether it exists or not.
