I have some code below:
<div class="product-page-wrapper">
<div class="product-page-img">
<img alt="" width="137" height="125" src="/Portals/6/aggProd.png" />
</div>
<div class="product-page-title">**D-077**</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="product-page-spec-title">

<div class="product-page-spec-button">

</a>
</div>
At the moment i am only changing the Product Page Title, Type, Dimemsion values. I have a massive spread sheet with these values and wanted to know if i could input these values into my code automatically.
This would save me alot of time.
what would be the best way?
I am using DNN 5.6.2
Even if i could reproduce the code i could then paste it into my CMS editor.
There are a lot of ways to do this, depending on the tools at your disposal.
One way is to create an ASP.NET page with a repeater in it, and use the OLE DB driver for Excel to use the spreadsheet as a datasource. You can see this question for more details as to how to do it. You could even build such a control into a DotNetNuke module if you want to, then you could have the content update to match the spreadsheet dynamically if the spreadsheet ever changes.
Another approach you could use if you really just want to copy-and-paste the values from the spreadsheet into the CMS, is to use Excel to generate the code. For example, if you're using columns A-E in Excel, you could put a formula like the following in column F:
=CONCATENATE("<div class=""product-page-wrapper""><div class=""product-page-img""><img alt="""" width=""137"" height=""125"" src=""/Portals/6/aggProd.png"" /></div><div class=""product-page-title"">",A2,"</div>", "...etc...")
(This is just an example. You'd have to flesh out the rest of the code, and you might have to use multiple columns to get past string length limitations in Excel)
Then you could paste that formula into every row, and then copy the resulting values from Excel into the CMS text field. This is really a bootleg way of doing things, and writing a DNN module is definitely more ideal, but using Excel functions to generate the code is an option if this is one of those "I need it in 5 minutes and then I'm never going to use it again" situations.

As far as I know, BEM does not use elements id at all. But how to deal in this case with the label for/id combined with inputs? If I do not use id, people who're using screen readers will not get that this label is for that input. Am I right?
BEM suggests avoiding id for css selectors. It's perfectly valid to use id for A11y and usability.
<form class="form" method="post" action="">
<label for="email" class="form__label">Email</label>
<input type="email" id="email" class="form__control"/>
</form>
In the example above we are styling the input as an Element of the form block with the form__control class.
Also you can not use aria attributes without id for pointers to descriptive elements.
<div role="application" aria-labelledby="calendar" aria-describedby="info">
<h1 id="calendar">Calendar</h1>
<p id="info">
This calendar shows the game schedule for the Boston Red Sox.
</p>
<div role="grid">
...
</div>
</div>

Does anyone know if it's possible using thymeleaf templates to iterate with a specific numerical value that does not come from the index or the size of an array?
For example:
for(i=0;i<4;i++).
So something similar to a for loop and yes I have looked at the thymeleaf docs.
Thanks in advance!!
Hopefully this helps. The form below will be used to take in a chemical name along with a few other details which are the other fields. I would like to repeat the form fields a specific number of times which is determined by the user. So if the user is asked "how many chemicals would you like to add to your list?" and the answer is 3 I would like to have the form fields repeat 3 times.
<form method="post" th:object="${reagent}">
<div>
<label th:for="chemName">Compound/Reagent</label>
<input th:field="*{chemName}" />
<span th:errors="*{chemName}"></span>
</div>
<div>
<label th:for="mw">Molecular Weight(g/mol)</label>
<input th:field="*{mw}"/>
<span th:errors="*{mw}"></span>
</div>
<div>
<label th:for="density">Density(g/L)</label>
<input th:field="*{density}"/>
<span th:errors="*{density}"></span>
</div>
<div>
<label th:for="hazard">Hazards</label>
<textarea th:field="*{hazard}"></textarea><br/><br/>
<span th:errors="*{hazard}"></span>
</div>
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Add Chemical"/>
</form>
I'm having trouble getting Cucumber to "choose" a radio button and hoping someone can give me a sanity check. Without quoting a huge mass of HTML junk, here's the relevant portion (which I collected from print.html). It's within a modal div that is activated by a button. I can "click" that button and see the modal window appear (I'm running it as a #javascript scenario in Selenium).
<div class="modal-body pagination-centered">
<img src="/assets/payment.png" alt="Payment" />
<form novalidate="novalidate" method="post" id="edit_cart_1" class="simple_form edit_cart" action="/carts/complete" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
<input type="hidden" value="✓" name="utf8" />
<input type="hidden" value="put" name="_method" />
</div>
<div class="control-group hidden cart_property_id">
<div class="controls">
<input type="hidden" name="cart[property_id]" id="cart_property_id" class="hidden" />
</div>
</div>
<div id="payment_fat_buttons" class="fat-buttons">
<div class="vertical-button-wrapper">
<input type="radio" value="cash" name="cart[payment_type]" id="cart_payment_type_cash_pay" data-property-id="1" />
<label for="cart_payment_type_cash_pay">Cash</label>
</div>
<div class="vertical-button-wrapper">
<input type="radio" value="credit" name="cart[payment_type]" id="cart_payment_type_credit_pay" data-property-id="1" />
<label for="cart_payment_type_credit_pay">Credit</label>
</div>
</div>
<div style="display: none;" id="cart_room_number_area_pay">
<div class="control-group string optional cart_room_number">
<label for="cart_room_number_pay" class="string optional control-label">Room number</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" value="" size="50" name="cart[room_number]" id="cart_room_number_pay" class="string optional" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<input type="checkbox" value="1" style="display: none;" name="receipt" id="receipt" />
<div class="sell-modal-footer">
<input type="submit" value="Complete With Receipt" name="commit" id="cart_complete_with_receipt" data_disable_with="Processing..." class="btn btn-danger" />
<input type="submit" value="Complete Sale" name="commit" data_disable_with="Processing..." class="btn btn-danger" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
I've tried as many different equivalent ways of getting at it that I can think of. Most obviously just by the label, or the ID, like:
choose 'cart_payment_type_cash_pay'
choose 'Cash'
which just gives me the error:
Unable to find radio button "cart_payment_type_cash_pay" (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
I thought it might have something to do with the modal dialog, visibility, etc. but I introduced the ID #payment_fat_buttons just for testing, and when I look for it like this:
find('#payment_fat_buttons').choose('Cash')
it finds that DIV OK, but still not the radio button. I also tried getting at it with :xpath on the whole page, and within a scope like:
within(:xpath, "//div[#id='payment_methods']") do
find(:xpath, ".//input[#id='cart_payment_type_cash_pay']").choose
end
which acts like it can also find the outer DIV, but not the radio button - I get the error:
Unable to find xpath ".//input[#id='cart_payment_type_cash_pay']" (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
Generally, it seems like I can find any arbitrary element around the radio buttons with :xpath or CSS expressions, just not the radio buttons. I can also push the submit buttons on the form without any problem. I tried dropping the data attributes as a test - no difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts because it seems so simple, and yet I'm getting nowhere. I need to choose that for a big segment of Scenarios, so if I can't figure it out, I'll have to resort to something hokey and horrible. Many thanks in advance...
Relevant versions from Gemfile.lock:
rails (3.2.13)
cucumber (1.3.8)
gherkin (2.12.2)
cucumber-rails (1.4.0)
capybara (2.1.0)
selenium-webdriver (2.35.1)
I finally figured this one out. Capybara wasn't finding the radio button because buried deep in my styles was some CSS that hid it in order to change the appearance. Once I realized that, I figured out that I could side-step the whole issue of finding the radio button by just doing a click on the label instead:
find(:xpath, "//label[#for='the_radio_button_id']").click
I didn't realize it was possible to get at radio buttons that way - but in any case, it solves the issue of how to click a radio button that Capybara won't find due to styling or other issues. Hope that helps someone else.
Can I debug the below mentioned code on *.cshtml file ? I have used knockout js as my client side java script library.
<div data-bind="ifnot: book()">
<div>
<h2>Add New Book</h2>
</div>
<div>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input data-bind="value: $root.Name" type="text" title="Name" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="publisher">Publisher</label>
<input data-bind="value: $root.Publisher" type="text" title="Publisher" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="price">Price</label>
<input data-bind="value: $root.Price" type="text" title="Price" />
</div>
<br />
<div>
<button data-bind="click: $root.create">Save</button>
<button data-bind="click: $root.reset">Reset</button>
</div>
</div>
On above code I need to check the values of say "book() or $root.Name ,etc".Can I do that ?
UPDATE:On Fire bug
You'll need to use client side debugging. Either use a developer toolbar (opened with F12 in most browsers) or use Visual Studio Client Script debugging.
After the #nemesv link I did small R&D about this.Below I have mentioned the way you can find the KO binding values of the DOM elements.Hope this will help someone in future.

I'm using MVC4 but I imagine this is an issue for anyone using the new Bootstrap 3 version. Since form-control is now width:100% by default, what is the best practice for placing validation messages?
In version 2.x, placing the validation messages in the help-inline span just after the input control worked best to ensure that the message was placed to the right of the control.
But in version 3, they always get pushed to the bottom making all the controls shift down because the validation messages are forced under the control.
<div class="form-group has-error">
<label for="Label" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Label</label>
<div class="col-lg-5">
<input class="form-control input-validation-error" data-val="true" data-val-required="Required" id="Label" name="Label" type="text" value="">
<span class="help-inline"><span class="field-validation-error" data-valmsg-for="Label" data-valmsg-replace="true"><span for="Label" generated="true" class="">Required</span></span></span>
</div>
</div>
I've considered manually setting them on a new column like this (below) but wondering if there was a more acceptable way or a less manual way of dealing with this.
<div class="form-group has-error">
<label for="Label" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Label</label>
<div class="col-lg-5">
<input class="form-control input-validation-error" data-val="true" data-val-required="Required" id="Label" name="Label" type="text" value="">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-5">
<p class="form-control-static"><span class="field-validation-error" data-valmsg-for="Label" data-valmsg-replace="true"><span for="Label" generated="true" class="">Required</span></span></p>
</div>
</div>
I wouldn't say there are "best practices" for presenting form validation errors. It's more of a personal design choice.
Depending on how much JS you want to write, you could get a little slick and insert an input group addon which holds an error message in a tooltip icon, like so...
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control">
<span class="input-group-addon">
<i data-toggle="tooltip" title="Error msg here" data-container="body" class="glyphicon glyphicon-question-sign"></i>
</span>
</div>
Honestly though, I think messages appearing below input fields are fine, as long as they don't disturb page layout and push content down when they appear. (Which is just a matter of having a container that displays block and has a a hard-coded height.)
