I am using selenium IDE for writing test case and I am trying to extract content in value attribute of below tag
<div id="inputcontainer_f-5" class="FGIC" style="max-width:none;"><input type="text" autocomplete="off" name="f-5" id="f-5" class="dummyclass FastEvtFieldFocus" value="TEXT_I_WANT_TO_GET" readonly="readonly" spellcheck="true" tabindex="-1" style="">
</div>
My selenium IDE code
comment | Target | value
store text | xpath=//input[#id='f-3'] | EXTRATCED_CONTENT
echo | ${EXTRATCED_CONTENT}
Result : I am getting empty string
echo : ""
If i try to change the xpath as xpath=//input[#id='f-3']/#value I am getting following error
storeText on xpath=//input[#id='f-5']/#value with value EXTRATCED_CONTENT Failed:
The result of the xpath expression "//input[#id='f-5']/#value" is: [object Attr]. It should be an element.
How do i extract and store TEXT_I_WANT_TO_GET in variable EXTRATCED_CONTENT and echo it
Thanks
Jk
Try this below.
//input[#id='f-3']#value

Trying to scrape this part: "Lounge, Showers, Lockers"

<div class="CourseAbout-otherFacilities more">
<h3 class="CourseAbout-otherFacilities-title">Available Facilities</h3> " Lounge, Showers, Lockers "

response.css('.CourseAbout-foodAndBeverage.more::text').get() command returns " \n "
Thank you
There are three text elements in your target div (matched by your CSS expression):
<div class="CourseAbout-otherFacilities more">FIRST<h3
<h3 class="CourseAbout-otherFacilities-title">SECOND</h3>
</h3>THIRD</div>
By using .get() you're telling Scrapy to return first match.
I recommend to use XPath expression here instead and match your element by text:
//h3[.="Available Facilities"]/following-sibling::text()[1]'

here how to click on text box of whose id is "div_12_1_1_1_3_1_2_1_1_1_2-in "
but for some scenario its changing to "div_5_1_1_1_3_1_2_1_1_1_2-in "
i have tried with the following ,
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div/input[ends-with(#id,'__1_1_1_3_1_2_1_1_1_2-in')]")).sendKeys("98989998989");
but it is not working ..
Output:
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: The given selector //div/input[ends-with(#id,'__1_1_1_3_1_2_1_1_1_2-in')] is either invalid or does not result in a WebElement. The following error occurred:

you can try with the following cssSelector,
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.fixed-units > input[id$='in']")).sendKeys("98989998989");
If 'in' text is present always then you can use xpath. You can try //div[contains(#id, 'in')]
ends-with is an XPath 2 query, of which none of the five major actually support v2
Your options are either to use other methods as already suggested, or for an XPath 1 solution you could use:
//div/input[substring(#id, string-length(#id) - 22) = '_1_1_1_3_1_2_1_1_1_2-in']
Although it's ugly, really.
I actually used "starts-with"...but I see you have multiple that start with "div".
If your elements all stay in the same place on the page and aren't subject to change, try this out. Here's some Java code:
By by = By.xpath("(//*[starts-with(#" + attributeName + ", '" + attributeValue + "')])[" + n + "]");
In your case, it would look like this:
By by = By.xpath("(//*[starts-with(#id, 'div')])[2]");
What this will do is pick the second element that starts with "div" in the DOM.
It's a bit of a hack...but it might work out for you.
i enter dojo.query('input') i get the following :-
<input id="paragraphtwo" data-dojo-type="dijit/form/SimpleTextarea" rows="4" cols="50" style="width:auto">
now WHEN i write
text= dojo.query('input')
[<input id="paragraphtwo" data-dojo-type="dijit/form/SimpleTextarea" rows="4" cols="50" style="width:auto">]
gets storeed in text.
now when i write text[0].id i get "paragraphtwo". how can i access the type of input i.e hwo can i get "dijit/form/SimpleTextarea" just like i got the id
One way to this is as follows:
var input = dojo.byId("paragraphtwo");
var dojoType = dojo.attr(input, "data-dojo-type"));
console.log(dojoType); // Outputs: dijit/form/SimpleTextarea
Using the declaredClass property:
console.log(dijit.byId("paragraphtwo").declaredClass);
I can't find test1,test2... from the folowing html page:
<dd class="class subclass">
test1, test2, test3
</dd>
tried
//dd[contains(#class = 'class subclass') and contains(text(), 'test1')
I guess the problem in space? Or in dd tag?
PS getting error
ERROR: Invalid xpath [2]: //dd[contains(#class, "class subclass") and text() = test1]
Try
//dd[contains(text(),"test1")]
I'm creating a form elements template file in PHPTAL. I would like to be able to OPTIONALLY pass in an id attribute for a field...
So far the code looks like this:
<xml>
<tal:block metal:define-macro="text">
<label tal:condition="php: !isset(hideLabel) || isset(hideLabel) && !hideLabel">${field/label}</label>
<input name="${name}" type="text" value="${field/value}" />
<p tal:condition="exists:field/error">${field/error}</p>
</tal:block>
</xml>
This works as advertised. What I'd like to add is something, like
<input name="${name}" tal:attributes="id exists: id $id | $name" value="${field/value}" />
to allow me to optionally pass in an id from the METAL call...
Should I be doing it differently? I've tried using PHP: isset(id) ? $id : NULL and variations thereof, but just end up with an id="0" in the resultant HTML.
Any ideas?
In case anyone else needs it, one working answer is:
<xml>
<tal:block metal:define-macro="text">
<label tal:condition="not: exists:hideLabel">${field/label}</label>
<input name="${name}" tal:attributes="id id | nothing" type="text" value="${field/value}" />
<p tal:condition="exists:field/error">${field/error}</p>
</tal:block>
</xml>
Where passed in variables are id, name, an array named field, and hideLabel .
Note, that I've also managed to simplify the label test to something which I believe is more idiomatically TAL.
Set VAR at a DIV containing the soon to be used element:
div class="" tal:define="VAR context.property"
div class="" tal:attributes="class python:'grid_8 omega' if VAR else 'grid_8 alpha'"
in PHP:
<div id="contentCenter" tal:attributes="id
php:isset(variable)&&isset(variable.property)?'IDVALUE':NULL">
