Are you using jQuery Autocomplete plugin?

My code in PHP:

Code:

$this->typeKeys("InputWithPluginLocator", "something to seek");
$this->mouseOver("css=.ui-autocomplete li:first-child a");
$this->click("css=.ui-autocomplete li:first-child a");
sleep(3)

Above code simulates choice first element from autocomplete list.

i tried using runscript() command, it works no error occured but selected data is not stored while running the testcase,

Is there any other way to solve this error?

And what about my solution?

Hi faramka,

Am not using jquery AutoComplete plugin, so i have no idea about that, sorry for the inconvienience,

OK, so tell me, when exactly the message is shown?
When you are typing a text in the textbox (are you confirming this in some way?) or when you are selecting something from list?
And, at last, what plugin do you use, 'cause I don't think, that you called this element ui-active-menuitem.

Could you describe in points how it exactly should work?

i use selenium ide only for recording scripts, i got a error while playing the scripts...

Sorry, I thought that you are using also Selenium RC, because you have posted this topic in Selenium RC Discussion subforum instead of Selenium IDE Discussion subforum.

And my question is: what your script should exactly do? Could you please describe it step by step, in points? It would be great and easier to understand the problem.

i found the solution when selecting options from the list using keyboards for ex: typing java then Java developer is displayed in the list, i selected using down arrow key and pressing Enter key...

But the problem occurs by using mouse to select that option , clicking on Java developer...

OK, I get it. When I was doing a simulation with using autocomplete, I also tried to do it with keyboard. But at last I made it with mouse (methods mouseOver() and click()).

Which jQuery plugin do you use?

i use selenium ide, i got the result by using storeEval() and click() commands...
Thanks for the update.

But in your app there is a jQuery plugin Do you use Firefox and have you got Firebug installed? You know html at all? You'd check css attributes of option element in html code, and then use it as locator in mouseOver and click methods.

ok i got it, thanks for the update...

Let us know if you solved the problem

yes i solved using Firepath addon in firefox i got the xpath for an element id and using click method i solved it..

OK, good
