This was actually the original idea behind Extractors. I've been trying for months to find time to work on this, but unfortunately I can hardly keep up with work & family responsibilities...
If you have the time, here's some ideas:
- HTML Form Field Value Extractor
You said it.
- HTML Header Extractor
User provides a header name. The value of that header will be placed in a variable.
- HTML Link HRef Extractor
User provides a link name (or regexp) or index. The *full* URL for that link will be placed in a variable (note it's not that easy to do that using the Regexp Extractor).
Would be really nice to be able to extract multiple links to get an array, but JMeter currently has no mechanism to process such an array... maybe a ForEach Logic Controller?
- HTML Form Action Extractor
User provides form name (or regexp) or index, or content or regexp for the action field. The *full* URL for the action field in that form will be placed in a variable.
More: - HTML Img Src Extractor - HTML Select Options Extractor ...
Please please if you work on that, send us the code. I'll be very happy to test and commit it.
Salut,
Jordi.

Hello,
I need to pull a value out of an http response to use in the next request. Specifically, I need to get a value from an html form element from a response. Now, I already got this working using the Regular Expression Extractor, and it works great. However, I need a solution that's a bit easier for a non-programmer to use (and not have to deal with regex).
I started working on what I'm currently calling HTML Value Extractor. It is a post processor implementation that simply pulls the value from a form element (as specified by the test element properties) and puts it into a variable. The test element properties include the variable name, the type of form element (right now, just input and select), the name of the form element, and for select elements, the text of the option element to select.
How does this sound? Is there already a simpler way that I've just missed entirely? I'm also curious if there would be any interest in adding this new test element to JMeter once I've finished it?
Thanks!
Joe
