Hi Marc,

we discovered the problem. In the DOM inspector the @title attribute seems to map to a nodeName of 'fancytooltips' (the javascript we are using for tooltips). When we use the following the test passes okay

xpath="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'formTable']/form/fieldset[1]/label/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'test 
tooltip.']"/>

Thanks for your help.

Mark

Are you sure that there is no special character involved? You can try to ask WebTest to print the @title value for instance making a verifyXPath step to fail.

Hi Marc,

to clarify, the error was:

failed with message "xpath test: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'formTable']/form/fieldset[1]/label/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'test tooltip.'] matched no nodes"

I was trying some different combinations to try and discover why it would not work!

Any thoughts/ideas?

Mark

Did you really try with the XPath you show? The error message indicates something else ('test' rather than 'test tooltip.').

Hi Guys,

I have a fragment of html:

<a title="test tooltip." href="1#">

which I am trying to verify the XPath of.

If I use:

//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'formTable']/form/fieldset[1]/label/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'1#']
then the XPath verifies ok.

However if I try:

//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'formTable']/form/fieldset[1]/label/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'test 
tooltip.']
then CANOO reports:
failed with message "xpath test: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'formTable']/form/fieldset[1]/label/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'test'] matched no nodes"

I am using the title attribute to specify a mouse-over tooltip on a piece of text. Are there any restrictions in XPath here which I may not be aware of? Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
