To count the number of elements in a combo box.

Hi,,

Using selenium IDE, how it is possible to count the number of elements in a combo box.

Any solution?

for drop down

Command
Select

Target
Xpath/id

Value
index/option which u want 2 select u can give

wt dis xpath/id means .. i dont knw abt it...

whr u ll get xpath..

u need 2 hav firebug addin to find xpath/id

k.. by recording any options r there?

wt s xapth.. unique id of the element?

yaa u cn get xpath by recording..... bt writing xpath is good in practice

storeXpathCount could probably do what you are asking for

how xpath can get by recording... this is my pgm... how to get the id of dropdown list



Volvo
Express
Mercedes

i tried like this by entering,

storeXpathCount css=html a
echo ${a}

Got ERROR:

[error] Locator does not use XPath strategy: css=html

To use the storeXPathCount command you have to use XPath...not CSS. Your combo box does not have an ID. This makes it difficult to identify the elements in it. The commands you could use are this:

storeXPathCount | //div[@id='p5028']/div/div/div['+x+']/div/select| x
echo| ${x}

storeCssCount | css=select| x
echo | ${x}

Unfortunately,I tried both of these commands and they only return '1'.

Also when you record an element using the IDE version, on the target field there is typically a drop down. With that drop down, you can switch to the xpath.
