program to provide total number of objects present / available on the page

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class objectcount extends SeleneseTestCase {
public void setUp() throws Exception {
setUp("http://www.google.com/","*firefox");
}
public void testloginlogout(){
selenium.setSpeed("1000");
selenium.open("/mail/help/intl/en/logout.html#hl=en");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
selenium.windowMaximize();
int num = selenium.getXpathCount("//p").intValue();
System.out.println("The number of option elements present are " +num);
}
}

Here
int num =selenium.getXpathCount("//p").intValue();

what is //p here?

hw to get that

p is the one of the element in HTML known as paragraph where all elements reside into that tag.

this code search for every p tag in view source/Xpath on that basis it will give you number of elements exist on page whether it's image, link, button, text field , list or radio button.

Hope this will help You. best of luck.

bye

In gmail.com page, i m getting output as 9 objects for the above Program.
i think its not correct it has many objects.
instead of giving //p, how to find all the objects reside on the web page?

here getxpathcount ( ) ---- here wt parameter need to pass. wt it does?

Can't you identify objects based on "INPUT" tag?

All objects are initialized with INPUT tag only.

EX: storeXpathcount | //input | count

For image and a tag, you need to fire one more command and store it elsewhere.
