On my site I have a DataList full of image thumbnails. The thumbnails are HyperLink controls that, when clicked, offer an enlarged view of the source image (stored in my database).
My client wants a facebook Like button on each image and I was hoping to put that in the lightbox window that appears when you click on a thumbnail.
My challenge here is that to generate the info for the Like, I need to create meta tags and each image should, preferably, create it's own meta tags on the fly.
What I can't figure out is how to make the HyperLink click open the lightbox AND create the meta tags at the same time.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The way that we approach similar problems is to hook the onclick event of the href in javascript.
Depending on exactly what you need to do, you can even prevent the standard browser behavior for the hyperlink from executing by returning false from the javascript method.
And in some cases, we just use the hyperlink for "show" by setting the href to "#".
Here is an example that combines all of these concepts:
File Name
In this case, the specified javascript is executed, there is no real hyperlink, and the browser doesn't try to navigate to the specified URL because we return false in the javascript.
Add a Classname to the opening table tag like class="tbl_images" so we can use JQuery to access it. Capture the click on the td and pickup the id of the item. Pass that id to your code as required to generate your meta tags. In the following when the user clicks on an anchor in a td, a function will run.
I use this all the time to access attributes in the td so i can run a function. You could use something like this to pickup values from your image/anchor and create something...
$("#tbl_images > tbody > tr ").each(function () {
//get the id of the tr (if required)
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var ImageTitle = $(this).find("img.Image_Class_Name").attr("title");
//on click of anchor with classname of lighthouse run function,
//passing in our id or other data in the row to our function
$(this).find("td: > a.lighthouse").click(function () {
//update script for this record
MyFunction(id,ImageTitle);
});
});

I'm trying to make a macro that logs into a website, and starts pulling reports. Problem is, as I'm parsing through the html, I see a button exactly like the one on this page: https://www.exratione.com/2011/12/a-dark-style-for-chosen-selects/
where the href is a java void and the class is a generic "chzn-single" same as that website's button.
Any suggestions?
I'm trying this but no luck:
Set Clickme = IE.document.getElementsByClassName("chzn-single chzn-default")(0)
Clickme.Click
Also, which I don't think makes much sense:
IE.Document.getElementById("typeSelector").Value = "Revenue"
IE.Navigate "javascript:void(0)"
You haven't provided any HTML to go with this. If it is like that which you are showing in the other link then IE.document.getElementsByClassName("chzn-single chzn-default")(0) won't work because the class name is incorrect. It should be just chzn-single.
For the page you have linked, there are two clickable links with class of chzn-single.
I would use a CSS class selector to target them:
For the first:
IE.document.querySelector("a.chzn-single").Click
For the second:
IE.document.querySelectorAll("a.chzn-single").item(1).Click
Please let me know the best xpath for the below HTML, the button id's are dynamically populated. Hence I tried using the starts-with function as below
driver.findElement(By.xpath("*//button[starts-with(#id, 'j_idt')]")).click();
but, how to achieve if we have two buttons in the same page as per the attached screenshot.
There are multiple ways to find the button. One of the options is to rely on the text inside, e.g. for Login:
//button[span = 'Login']
Then, you can add other checks, e.g. check if it is of type submit:
//button[#type = 'submit' and span = 'Login']
I have a function which adds a button to a div "dettaglio_utenti". After calling the function with this instruction
tab+="<button data-dojo-type='dojox.mobile.Button' id='apri_mappa' onClick=\" location.href='tel:"+telefono+"'\">apri mappa</button>"
var vText = document.getElementById("dettaglio_utente");
vText.innerHTML = tab;
require(["dojo/parser"], function(parser){
parser.parse(vText);
});
It works only the first time that I display the page. The second time the button is not parsed and I see this error in the browser console: dojo/parser::parse() error Error: Tried to register widget with id==apri_mappa but that id is already registered
When you display the page for the second time, the first page must still be part of the dom. (Maybe this is a worklight feature, single page app?). So when dojo parses the second page it gives the error because the button with that id has already been created.
I don't believe preventing the parsing of the button a second time will accomplish what you need. I think your options are:
Destroy the widgets from the first page.
If you don't need an id on the button, you can omit it and Dojo will create an id that won't collide.
If you need the id, you can or use a counter when emitting the id of the button.
id='apri_mappa_' + i where i is the counter.
Only knowing what you wrote above, I think the order of preference is 2,1,3.
EDIT - How to destroy a widget
require(['dijit/registry'], function(registry) {
registry.byId('apri_mappa').destroy();
});
I am trying to select a specific item in a page which is at the bottom of the page. I want to verify that element is present and the same time I want to focus to that specific item.
How can I do this in the Selenium IDE?
I tried storeEval, but its specific co-ordinated which I don't want. I am looking for some dynamic command. I tried using css:.groupTile:contains("Concentrated") but the focus is not going to that particular item (Concentrated).
Can someone help me with Command, Target and value please?
CSS Selectors have many formats
i) Using id. Put this in Target: css=tag#id
tag = the HTML tag of the element being accessed,
id = the ID of the element being accessed
ii) Using class. Put this in Target: css=tag.class
tag = the HTML tag of the element being accessed,
class = the class of the element being accessed
In value you enter name of the item.
i need to set value for drop down box when form is load, so i'm able to create normal html element dynamically using javascript as below,
addOption(document.form[0].templateCategory,i,templateCategory[i]);
function addOption(selectbox, text, value) {
var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
optn.text = text;
optn.value = value;
selectbox.options.add(optn);
}
but now i need to add for struts element so the value will be selected automatically when form is load, how this can be done,
thanks in advance
To create select tags and options within, you can combine a variety of Struts tags: select, option, options or optionsCollection.
If you want to mark an option as selected, the value attribute of the <html:select> tag indicates the value to compare with for marking an option selected.
If you want to set the selected option on the onload event, you can still do that using JavaScript. Note though that you apply the JavaScript on the client side, on the HTML that resulted from your Struts server tags.
<html:option> is a server tag and runs on the server. From it results the appropriate <option> tag in the client HTML. You can't interact with <html:option> (or any server tag for that matter) using JavaScript (one runs on server, the other in the client)
