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)

I have to look at an application which I can't use the normal selectors (like "id", "name", etc - this is a design flaw) but I do have a custom tag which has been applied to elements on the page:
test-tag='x'
and this is fine, I can interact with this using (simple script)
var tag = '[test-tag="x"]';
var selector = $(tag);
However, I have now found that some elements (notably textboxes) have a title and a box element - both have the same custom tag applied. Now the text box is an input type. Anyone know how I can change the above to target specifially input types?
try this:
'input[test-tag="x"]'
for the input box

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 am working in Ektron 8.6.
I have a FormBlock Server Control in my Template Page,It is having a DefualutFormID of a valid HTML form from workarea.The form in the workarea have got few form fields and their corresponding values.
While the template page is rendering I need to GET those form field values and re-set them with some other values.
In which Page –Cycle event I should do this coding?
I tried this code in Pre-Render Event,but I am unable to GET the value there,but I am able to set a value.
I tried SaveStateComplete event as well,no luck.
String s=FormBlock1.Fields["FirstName"].Value;
If(s=”some text”)
{
// Re-set as some other vale.
FormBlock1.Fields["FirstName"].Value=”Some other value”;
}
In which event I can write this piece of code?
Page_Load works fine for changing the value of a form field. The default behavior is for the Ektron server controls to load their data during Page_Init.
The real problem is how to get the default value. I tried every possible way I could find to get at the data defining an Ektron form (more specifically, a field's default value), and here's what I came up with. I'll admit, this is a bit of a hack, but it works.
var xml = XElement.Parse("<ekForm>" + cmsFormBlock.EkItem.Html + "</ekForm>");
var inputField = xml.Descendants("input").FirstOrDefault(i => i.Attribute("id").Value == "SampleTextField");
string defaultValue = inputField.Attribute("value").Value;
if (defaultValue == "The default value for this field is 42")
{
// do stuff here...
}
My FormBlock server control is defined on the ASPX side, nothing fancy:
<CMS:FormBlock runat="server" ID="cmsFormBlock" DynamicParameter="ekfrm"/>
And, of course, XElement requires the following using statement:
using System.Xml.Linq;
So basically, I wrap the HTML with a single root element so that it becomes valid XML. Ektron is pretty good about requiring content to be XHTML, so this should work. Naturally, this should be tested on a more complicated form before using this in production. I'd also recommend a healthy dose of defensive programming -- null checks, try/catch, etc.
Once it is parsed as XML, you can get the value property of the form field by getting the value attribute. For my sample form that I set up, the following was part of the form's HTML (EkItem.Html):
<input type="text" value="The default value for this field is 42" class="design_textfield" size="24" title="Sample Text Field" ektdesignns_name="SampleTextField" ektdesignns_caption="Sample Text Field" id="SampleTextField" ektdesignns_nodetype="element" name="SampleTextField" />
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 using Selenium's webdriver, but I've hit upon a problem.
I'm using KnockoutJS to bind my UI to data from the server. In my tests when I call FindElement(By.Id("InputField")) it is returning the element ok, but unfortunately the Text() field is empty.
When I run a Jquery selector on the field:
$("#InputField").val() it gives me the text in the input field ok.
When I inspect the Html source, there is no value in the input field, and I guess this is because KnockoutJS is binding the value to the input field late.
How do I get WebDriver to pull the attributes, text etc. from the field correctly rather than just empty text?
Instead of using the Text property try using element.GetAttribute("value")
IWebElement element = _driver.FindElementById("InputField");
string value = element.GetAttribute("value");
