So, I was trying out a test case on a website and Selenium registers the events perfectly. Now, if I have to search for a particular class and get the innerHTML of that class, how would I do it assuming that I am using Java as the driving language?
Just to be more clear. I have a class like this:
<h1 class="classname">.....</h1>
I want to get the entire text between those tags.
And finally, if the ids of the buttons on the page are dynamically generated, how would I test the clicking action on them? These button, I presume are using ajax. When I click on the button, Selenium generates this:
//div[#id='c4aef94de622f51859827294']/div/div/div[1]/span[2]/span/span[3]/a
and the actual HTML of the button is this:
<a href="#" bindpoint="forward" class="ButtonForward"/>
Is it even possible to click on the button?
You could use the getHtmlSource command to get the entire HTML source, and then use something else to parse the HTML in Java and extract the contents of the target element.
You can locate elements without using an ID, for example if this is the only such button on the page you could locate it:
Using CSS locators:
selenium.click("css=a.ButtonForward");
Using XPath locators:
selenium.click("xpath=/descendant::a[#class='ButtonForward']");

I want to send a text to a div element in web.whatsapp. I tried several ways ie using XPath, cssSelector, class name etc. but none is working for me.
This textbox comes when we attach an image in web.whatsapp.
Please step into the div and use the div with the class "selectable-text". As this is a contenteditable div you should be able to click into it and call then sendKeys() onto the element.
if this does not help please let me know then I will look in our code how we are filling such divs exactly.
You need to drill down further until you get to a web element that takes an input.
I am developing a small application with SWT Browser widget. I am highlighting a search text word with
<a id="xyz" href=''><mark>test</mark></a>
in a HTML document. and replace all the search words in HTML Text in this way so we get all the search words highlighted.
htmltext.replaceAll("(?i)"+Pattern.quote(searchword), "\\<a id='xyz' href=''> <mark>$0\\</mark></a>
I want to implement functionality that if I click on next button, next highlighted word should get focus and if I click on previous button previous highlighted text should get focus. how can I accomplish Next and Previous Hit using Javascript in Eclipse RCP application.
This is best solved by combining JavaScript with Java code. It depends what kind of HTML content are you going to handle, if it's stateful (e.g. cannot reload), dynamic with lot of JS code, or plain static. In most cases, the best solution would involve most of logic to be written in JS and just minimal code in Java to bind JS actions to SWT GUI.
There's several things you need to implement:
keyword searching
toggling highlighting
toggling highlight from one word to another
1. Search: you realise that you won't be able to search for words that span through many HTML elements, like W<span>o</span>rd? If that's ok then you can just search and replace from Java as you do now. I'd go for individually tagging each word match with id: <span id="match1"> and remembering how many matches in total were found.
You could likely do such search on JS side as well by adding a function that iterates through DOM and searches for specific text and wraps it with another DOM object.
2. Toggling highlighting: It's best done in JavaScript. Append to your HTML a JS code fragment that toggles DOM element style. Something like:
`
function highlight(id) {
document.getElementById(id).className = 'highlighted'
}
You'll be able to call this JS from SWT by invoking swtBrowser.execute("highlight('match1')")
Further you should implement function that takes off highlighting.
3. Toggling highlighting between elements:
This can be done both on Java side and on JS side. I would probably go with JS and add two more functions: highlightNext() and highlightPrev() that would just call highlight() function with proper ids.
Then in Java you could make SWT buttons that call JS functions through SWTBrowser.execute().
I have a JavaScript code embedded in a Java method to retrieve properties of any element clicked upon in a web page.
That is, I navigate to a specific URL by creating an instance of Selenium WebDriver from my Java application and click on an object in the page that gets loaded. After the single click on the object, a HTML page opens listing the name, type, id, class name etc. associated to that object as a radio button group. I select one option from the list and click on OK. What I wanted to know is, can I push the selected data from the HTML back onto my Java application on the click event on the HTML?
Any help appreciated! Thanks! :)
WebElement interface of selenium Webdriver gives a method
getAttribute which provides value of a given attribute of the desired html element.
I hope this method is what you are looking for.
USAGE:
String field_value;
field_value = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath Locator")).getAttribute("attribute name")
The information which you want to get should be in any of the attribute associated to that element.
Similarly if you want all attributes associated with the element in one go you can use something like this :
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].attributes);", element);
The above will give you a comma separated list of all attributes on which you can apply your coding logic to separate them and get the corresponding values using loops.
In my ApplicationResource.properties file, I can things like "welcome.message="Welcome""
and I would generate that in my jsp page with...
<h3><bean:message key="welcome.message"/></h3>
But say for example, I have a lot of html to generate, such as a list and list items for that secion...
How would I do that?
Nothing to stop you from giving the entire HTML code in the property file. For example if you want the text to appear bold you can do <B>Bold Text</B> So for your select box you can put the entire set of HTML tags in a property and set it where you want to set it.
As for dynamic content you can get a list of your objects in the action class and then use the struts UI tags to create the list or whatever you want.
I'm running test automation software that will rely on "id" tags to recognize controls.
I'm developing in java on eclipse using the GWT plugin and have tried using both of the below methods to set the id tag for a button "add".
add.setId("addId");
DOM.setElementAttribute(add.getElement(), "id", "addId");
neither of these are modifying the id property correctly. Have you had this problem before or do you know a workaround?
Thank you for any help!

If I remember correctly, several browsers (or probably just Internet Explorer) won't let you set a DOM element's ID after it has been appended to the DOM. This limitation would be there even if you are directly doing this hand coded javascript. The browser won't show any error on setting id attribute but won't update the attribute either.
So you need to set the ID before appending the element to the DOM.
EDIT
From discussion below it appears that you were assuming that setting ID on Button widget's DOM element will set the ID on a <input type="button"> DOM element. But this assumptions is not proving to be correct because Button widget wraps the <input type="button"> DOM element in other DOM elements (like table or div).
EDIT
You may want to try Button.wrap(element) method if you want to customize the input type="button"> element. First create (DOM.createButton()) or locate a DOM element, set it's id, and wrap it using Button.wrap(element)
Long time ago I had Selenium test suite for a GWT app and I used ensureDebugId method to set the ID.
Edit - It still seems to be part of the API
