[wtr-general] Unable to click the link (anchor and span)and use xpath in ruby script
I am trying to click on a text inside a span in my web page. But
it is not clicking it. when i try to flash it. it flashes.
I also tried to user fire_event(onclick), still it is not clicking
it.
ff.span(:id, 'cwc_masthead_username').click
puts ff.show_spans()
ff.spans.each{|s|puts s.to_s}
ff.spans[1].to_s
ff.span(:class, 'cwc_navMenuLabel').click
ff.link(:text, 'Find a Request').click
ff.link(:xpath, 'html/body/div[2]/ul/li[4]/a/span').click
ff.link(:xpath, //*[@id='cwc_menu_local:ROOT.Find a Request-anchor']/
span).click
ff.element_by_xpath(//html/body/div[2]/ul/li[4]/a/span[text='Find a
Request']).click
ff.link(:id , 'cwc_menu_local:ROOT.Find a Request-anchor').click
ff.link(:text = 'Find a Request',:index =4).click
This is the HTML tag
a id=cwc_menu_local:ROOT.Find a Request-anchor
onblur=webFXTreeHandler.blur(this);
onfocus=webFXTreeHandler.focus(this);
onclick=var stat=webFXTreeHandler.select(this);
if(!stat)return stat;;
ondblclick=webFXTreeHandler.selectOpen(this);
target=detail href=/smweb/cwc/nav.menu?name=navStartamp;id=ROOT
%2FFind%20a%20Request
class=selected-inactivespan class=cwc_navMenuLabelFind a
Request/span/a
I would think span element includes anchor want toclick to the
anchor instead of span
I want to click on the Find a Request text link here and it should
go to desired location.
Appreciate your help
Thank you,
Hari

Re: [wtr-general] Unable to click the link (anchor and span)and use xpath in ruby script
ff.link(:id , 'cwc_menu_local:ROOT.Find a Request-anchor').click This
should have worked. Can you check if the link you are trying to click is
inside a frame!!

Re: [wtr-general] Unable to click the link (anchor and span)and use xpath in ruby script
The text you are looking for to click is in the span tag and not the a tag. so this should work. ff.span(:text = 'Find a request').click On 7 September 2011 06:49, Hari harisankarec...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying toclick a link the aanchor tags from the html shown below.
