i have a page that contains content which need to be dynamically changed according to the current page size. in order to do that, during the onload event, i attach some JS function to the "onresize" window event. it looks like that:
window.onresize = function() {
//do something here...
};
This is working fine in any browse, except IE7!
These are the problems i'm having:
It seems that in IE7, when i resize the window vertically only (i.e. clicking with the mouse on the bottom border, and drag it down), it does not fire the "onresize" event.
sometimes, i get an infinite loop of "onresize" event, causing the browser to hang forever.
I will appreciate any help with any of these issues.
thanks,
Moe
2 days and no answer... no idea? i thought i'll find some help here...
Yes, this seems to be a bug in Internet Explorer (both version 6 and 7). The problem has been raised before in this forum, the thing closest to an answer is here. On other forums there are discussions on this topic http://us.generation-nt.com/window-onresize-bug-feature-help-117486581.html and http://remysharp.com/2008/05/15/windowonresize-hangs-ie6-and-ie7/. It seems that you will have to use a browser-specific workaround/redirect since it works fine in other browsers.

This is not really question, but just sharing my experience.
I am testing a page containing charts. Whenever a hover action by mouse is done, it shows small hint next to it. This work perfectly interacting with the element manually. The problem happens when trying to hover over element from Selenium.
I tested it with the following code, but it did not work
new Actions(getDriver()).moveToElement(graphElement).build().perform();
It only works if the folowing code is executed prior to using Actions
graphElement.click();
Even though the Actions click() method does not work. It really needs to be clicked through WebElement.click() and then use Actions...
Does anyone have similar experience with this behaviour? Why does the element should be clicked on before the Actions can work?
Because it is in contrary with the flow. Why anyone would start with clicking on the element to check that some message is displayed on hover action?
JS workaround (hover) does not help as well.
Thanks for your posts.
I just searched and found very neat solution.
Using the following code solved that problem with focus.
graphElement.sendKeys("");
so the final version
graphElement.sendKeys("");
new Actions(getDriver()).moveToElement(graphElement).build().perform();
I'm working on a NSMenuBar application and another NSMenuBar app seems to influence the display behaviour of my application!? More precisely: Adobe's Creative Cloud Application. When I click on that (creative cloud) Icon, the popup-view appears. Afterwards, when I click on my StatusBar Icon, my Menu appears, BUT, all the NSMenuItem's that should be Enabled are suddenly Disabled, and not interactive anymore.
Some observations:
When I log the enabled-state of the NSMenuItem, it logs correctly as being Enabled, but it is clearly not displaying as enabled (see screenshot), and clicking on it simply closes the Menu without performing the associated action. I do the logging with the following code:
-(void)menuWillOpen:(NSMenu *)menu
{
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 1 * NSEC_PER_SEC),
dispatch_get_main_queue(),
^{
NSLog(#"preferences menu-item is enabled: %hhd",[self.preferenceMenuItem isEnabled]);
});
}
The NSMenu I use is set to setAutoenablesItems:NO.
Also, Adobe's Creative Cloud uses a popup-view. And when it is opened, It clearly hovers over the screen-real-estate that my NSMenu is using.
When I try to reproduce this with other NSMenuBar applications (e.g. Apple's Wifi or Bluetooth) it all works. No problem. Then again, those applications don't use Popover-views, and they don't completely overlap the space of my app.
Please see these screenshots as illustration:

Malicious Creative Cloud

What Am I missing here? Apps should not be influencing each other like this right? I'm slowly but surely losing my mind over this. Any help MUCH appreciated! Thnx!!
I have found the solution to my own problem. So I hope I will help anybody else struggling with this.
I was using my main xib file menu (with the status-bar) and referenced that menu to open when clicking on the statusbar icon. This caused the app to get in focus and to display two times the same menu (although not open at the same time), one under the statusbar-icon as intended, and one on the left side next to the apple symbol. Whenever the statusbar-menu was somehow getting deactivated, the left menu was still working, as if the focus was shifted to that one.
For me the solution was to decouple my referenced menu from the xib's menu, by dragging it outside the parent-menu. It's weird because somehow it's not visible anymore in InterfaceBuilder, but it's definitely still there. See screenshots:

AFTER:
I am using Selenium WebDriver 2.5.0 (tried 2.13.0, it did not help).
I am trying to click on a link like this:
driver.FindElement(By.PartialLinkText("Customer - Creation").Click();
Before it worked, but I have tried to run the scripts after 3 weeks and
I observe 3 different behaviors on 3 machines:
Machine A: There is no click on the link at all, also there is no error.
Machine B: It clicks a different link! Sometimes one above, sometimes one below.
Machine C (Virtual): It works.
I have not fully tested this (spent half a day today), but did anyone stumble upon such a behaviour?
I have restarted my PC, re-added the Selenium libraries.
"SendKeys(Enter)" helps, but this issue happened not only to links, but to at least radio boxes as well, where "SendKeys(Enter)" does not work.
Please share your thoughts.
Update: Browsers are the same on at least 2 machines, Internet Explorer 8.0
Answered by nebehr.g...#gmail.com at Selenium Issues:
This issue keeps popping up from time to time and is usually returned with request for clarifications. The bottom line is, InternetExplorerDriver calculates coordinates of some objects incorrectly and clicks in the wrong place. One reason for this is zoom value other than 100%; however it is reproducible for some controls for 100% zoom as well.
I suppose it would be helpful if you could create a sample page to demonstrate this issue. In the meantime why don't you use Javascript click() method for offending controls?

One other thing to check for is the screen resolution (not the desktop resolution but the system level size of text and icons). I have two laptops in my office that are you used for testing, one running Windows 7 and the other running Windows 10. On both, the screen resolution was greater than 100% and Selenium was having problems moving the mouse to the correct location for mouse events like click and hover. As soon as the screen resolution was set to 100%, all mouse actions worked correctly.

There is a lot of useful info in Andrey's answer and in the Selenium issue he mentions at https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3052. Just to tie all those pieces of info together and offer a successful workaround...
I too am experiencing the issue of clicks occurring at the wrong screen coordinates -- four years after the OP first mentioned it! As others have said:
The issue is related to InternetExplorerDriver. I have the problem
when testing IE 9, but not Chrome, Firefox or even IE 8.
As mentioned in the Selenium issue, the website I'm testing uses frames.
I tried several workarounds suggested in this post and elsewhere. All of the following did NOT help:
Updating to the latest InternetExplorerDriver (version 2.47.0)
Maximizing the browser window.
Setting browser zoom to 100%.
Using an action chain, with or without move_by_offset, instead of WebDriver's click() method.
As suggested by Andrey, what DID help is using JavaScript instead of WebDriver's click() method. Here's a line of Python code that does the trick:
driver.execute_script("jQuery('{}').click();".format(css_selector))
This assumes that "driver" is an instance of Selenium WebDriver, and "css_selector" is a string identifying the element you want to click, and that jQuery is loaded.
Sounds like the element isn't present in the page's HTML, but is instead added dynamically once the page is loaded. What happens depends on how fast the machine is and how unique the text is. I'll bet that if you added a long sleep (e.g., a minute) you'd get the same result on all 3 machines. If so, that indicates the single most classic Selenium testing problem - trying to act on pages that aren't complete. You need to find an element to wait on that will guarantee the presence of the link you'd like to click on.
I just had the same issue in FireFox. The zoom was at 100% and the selection was by xpath an certainly correct. Turned out the problem disappeared when I maximized the browerwindow!
code :(python api)
self.driver.maximize_window()
If I place a WebBrowser control on any page, the page no longer responds to manipulation events under the WebBrowser. Other areas of the page work fine.
It's easily confirmed by overriding OnManipulationCompleted in a page, then placing a WebBrowser control on the page. Try swiping over the WebBrowser, and OnManipulationCompleted is never called.
I can't set the WebBrowser to IsHitTestVisible=false because I need to be able to click on links. But I want the page to respond to left/right swipes.
Anyone got any bright ideas? Or know if this is a bug in the current release?
I'd like to extend what Skeet already written.
The point is, that the MS WP7 dev team has published "guidelines", where they highly discourage putting (on the same page) multiple layout controls that accept and react to the same set of gestures. For example, you shouldn't try to embed a Pivot inside a Pano, because the horizontal-swipe will clash and it will be hard do distinguish which of them should execute its actions. The same case is with the browser: it responds to all swipes and pans.. so should not be put in almost any scrolling control!!
Now, having said that, I want to tell you it is possible to overcame it - although it may turn not easy, depending on your actual case.
The most trivial thing to do, if you want to still be notified about the gestures is to use GestureService/GestureListener from the Silverlight Toolkit library. Even when the WebBrowser extinguishes the raw manipulations events, the GestureListener will still be able to notify you - because it apparently listens on some "other layer", I don't exactly want to get in to it now. Just fetch the library, add-reference it, do something like:
GestureService.GetListener( targetcontrol ).Flick( myBrowserFlickHandler );
and it's done - you get the notification whenever someone flicks on the control, with completely no regard of the manipulation events being e.handled=true or not. Small disclaimer here: I don't remember if on 7.0 it works, because the WebBrowser is build a bit differenlty there. On 7.1 and 7.5 it should work.
However, if you apply that on a WebBrowser - you will get the notif - but the webbrowser will get it too. That means, that 2 controls will react, and it turn to be visually quite rejecting if you start some storyboards from within the handler..
On 7.1 and almost-current 7.5, it is possible to play hard with the WebBrowser and to completely control which manipulation-event it will see. Thus, by filtering the mani-events for the WB, and by using GestureListener to see the events yourself, you can both block the WB from doing anything, and at the same time you can respond with your own action instead. I've written about that extensively in a response to similar problem, see WP7 Pivot control and a WebBrowser control for details. It is not a quick/easy/funny thing to do though.
EDIT: and MOST importantly, it is NOT guaranteed to work in the future. Throughout the 7.1 and 7.5 SDK/OS/API versions, inside the WebBrowser control some major internal undergoing changes are visible, and I would not be surprised, if it would dramatically change in the next few releases. Don't play with the things I've wrote there about if you do not want to have to revisit the subject again in the next 1-2 years.
This is a consequence of the way we implemented WebBrowser. The touch events are handed off directly to the browser engine. Once that happens Silverlight is basically out of the picture. Unfortunately I can't think of any workarounds that might give you what you want. -Skeets, MS dev
If you really want it:
<Grid>
<phone:WebBrowser Source="http://www.microsoft.com" />
<Rectangle Fill="Transparent" ManipulationCompleted="HandleManipulationCompleted"/>
</Grid>
But of course it completely locks down interaction with web browser control and there's just no way to echo manipulation events to browser...
I think you have a better way capturing the manipulation events, if it is in WP7.5 Mango since the browser controls are completely different, which I read from this link
I have a Macintosh Mozilla plugin which puts up a separate window for login information.
It seems to work fine, it gets keyboard events like typing and hitting
return to hit the default button. HOWEVER, it doesn't seem to get cut
and paste events. When I hit Cmd-v, the edit menu flashes, but nothing
happnes.
Is this a problem with my responder chain? Do I have to specially tell
Mozilla that I want these events? or am I likely to have some other
problem that I haven't even thought of?
It turns out the problem is that I'm using cocoa windows inside Mozilla, which isn't Cocoa... fail.
