Dynamic object identification problem for OK button

Hi,

I have a problem in identifying button(OK button) object in my application.

when i see xpath of the object it is showing as below

Code:



//*[@id='ext-gen256'] - first time
//*[@id='ext-gen257'] - next time
//*[@id='ext-gen258'] -next time

HTML code below

<tbody class="x-btn-small x-btn-icon-small-left">
<tr>
<tr>
<td class="x-btn-ml">
<td class="x-btn-mc">
<em class="" unselectable="on">
<button id="ext-gen257" class="x-btn-text" type="button">OK</button>
</em>
</td>
<td class="x-btn-mr">



Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks
Venkat

hi venkat,

try this and let me know

//button[starts-with(@id, 'ext-gen')]

or

//*[starts-with(@id, 'ext-gen')]

Hi,

I got finally used below xpath code

"//button[.='OK']"

it is working fine finally.

Popsha thanks for your suggestions

Hi,

The below Xpath code

"//button[.='OK']"

is working fine when i take the data from excel for the First time , but fails for the second time in 'OK' Button.

Kindly suggest a solution for this..

Thanks,
Sakthi

did you tried the xpaths i'd provided?
hope that suits well.
if not let me know in detail

I tried the Xpath but it changes dynamically after every execution.Not working .

Also Tried the followings:

1. wait.Until((d) => { return d.FindElement(By.XPath("id('dialog-confirmcjt2')')")); });
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[.='Ok']")).Click();

2.wait.Until((d) => { return d.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[.='Ok']")); });
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[.='Ok']")).Click();

3.driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//span[contains(text(),'Ok')]")).Click();

Any solution other than this , let me know.

could not reply earlier as i'm quite busy with my projects.

i suppose, my code should work in your case. if not, let me know the error console and your html code for that web element.

Always try finding xpath using id or which is unique unless it work in brittle manner.

Hi Popsha, I used for loop for clicking the OK button where the Xpath is varying like //html/div[12]/div[1]/button.Now its working.

Also how to use the starts-with command for the above xpath //html/div[12]/div[1]/button..where div[12] changes each time.

hi sakthi,

provided xptah is "Absolute xpath", let me know your "Relative Xpath", indicating which one changed dynamically as you did earlier.
so I could pass you with one.

Relative Xpath:

xpath=(//button[@type='button'])[8]
xpath=(//button[@type='button'])[11]
xpath=(//button[@type='button'])[13]
