Tutorial for how to use storeEval command to get property of an element.

Hello,

This is asimple way to get a property of web elemnt if you knoen the locator of an element.

NOTE: remember if form name is different it will wont work. All code is tested.


Selenium RC Command are:


1. *for checkBox and radio button*


browser.getEval("javascript:{var status = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.checked; " +
"var val = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.*{color:#00ff00}chkPTOPayment*.*value*;" +
"var form = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.form;"+
"var name = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.name;"+
"var type = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.type;"+
"var click = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.click();"+
"var focus = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.focus();"+
"var defaultChecked =Selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.defaultChecked;"+
"alert(status+ \" \" + defaultChecked); }");


2. *for button element*

*note* : add alert box to seevalue of each property
browser.getEval("javascript:{var name = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.Image11.name;" +
"var value = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.Image11.value;"+
"var type = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.Image11.type;"+
"var disabled = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.Image11.disabled;"+
"var focus = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.Image11.focus();}");


3. *for input field property*

browser.getEval("javascript:{var value = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.name.value; " +
"var readOnly = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.name.readOnly;"+
"var name = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.name.name;"+
"var size = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.name.size;"+
"var defaultChecked = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.defaultChecked;"+
"var focus = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.focus();"+
"var blur = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form.chkPTOPayment.blur();"+
"alert(defaultChecked +\"\t \" + size); }");

4. *for select list property*

browser.getEval("javascript:{var length = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.cboCurrency.length; " +
"var options = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.cboCurrency.options;"+
"var selectedindex = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.cboCurrency.selectedindex;"+
"var text = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.cboCurrency.text;"+
"var focus = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.cboCurrency.focus();"
"alert(text);"
"}" );

5. *for textArea property*

browser.getEval("javascript:{var name = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.txtDesc_1.name;" +
"var readOnly = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.txtDesc_1.readOnly;"+
"var size = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.txtDesc_1.size;"+
"var type = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.txtDesc_1.type;"+
"var value = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.txtDesc_1.value;"+
"alert( type + \"\t\" + value);"+
"}");




6. *property for form method*

browser.getEval("javascript:{var action = selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.action;" +
"var elements =selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.elements;"+
"var length =selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.length;"+
"var method =selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.method;"+
"var submit =selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.form1.submit();"+
"alert(elements);"
+"}");
