Guys,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
First of all I dont have ids. I said in the beginning id but it is actually
url I am clicking on.
The links are dynamic so I cannot give the exact one.
In the page when I am deleting an item, it records the item in recently
visited table. If after deleting the item I will click on the link in
Recently visited, I will get to a dead end. It is obviously a bug but it is
not being fixed for time being, and I will have easier life with watir tests
if I can get a work around.
I will give you exact examples:
I want to click on this html tag:
<a href="/c2p/imperativeMain.do?navTrailRequired=false&id=1"
class="linkList" onmouseover="TagToTip('ID_SPAN_CONTEXT_NOTE__1', WIDTH,
-240, SHADOW, true, BORDERCOLOR, '#e9e1c5', FONTCOLOR, '#000099', BGCOLOR,
'#ffffc0', STICKY, true, FONTFACE, 'verdana, arial, helvetica', FONTSIZE,
'11px', CLICKCLOSE, true);" onmouseout="UnTip();">Source: <font
class="supporting">[Pending] </font><b>SS very long name imperative </b></a>
The link that will lead me to a dead end its html is:
<a onclick="pageTracker._trackEvent('Recently visited', 'Recently visited -
Source', 'be<script>alert(" c...');"="" title="be<script>alert("
copy")<="" script>?"=""
href="/c2p/imperativeMain.do?navTrailRequired=false&id=262"><span
class="breadcrumb_gray">(Source) </span>be<script>alert("C...</a>
For clicking on each of them I will do with watir:
ie.link(:url,/imperativeMain.*do.*?navTrailRequired=/).click
What I found is that the link that leads me to dead end is surrounded by a
table:
<table id="breadcrumbTable">
...link to dead end...
</table>
I thought it can give me an option to tell watir not to choose this link.
Is it possible?
Again, I cannot access with ids because the items' ids are unexpected.
I hope it is clearer.
