Hi John,
thank you for your help with this.
I am trying out my second issue first, namely the 'Wholename on OFAC list'
issue. I have come up with this so far:
<verifyXPath description="Check raises an alert 2"
xpath="//tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC list']"/>
This actually passes the test: using the xpath I can find the element a that
matches the text specified. The second part of my test is a bit trickier it
seems. I can't seem to find the second <td> in which there is an element <font>
that has the value 'Alert'.
I tried the following:
<verifyXPath description="Check raises an alert 2"
xpath="//tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC
list']/td[2]/font=normalize-space('Alert')"/>
The test comes back with an error message:
xpath test: //tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC
list']/td[2]/font=normalize-space('Alert') evaluates to false
I also tried without normalize-space, to no avail. I also move the second part
before the closing square bracket, but no success either.
I will continue trying of course, but if you have any ideas, don't hesitate!
Thank you
Gert
P.S. I attach a sample source code.

What about xpath?
For 1 you can use a pretty restrictive xpath to verify the location in the dom,
in your example //tab...@id='tableCustomerData']/tr[1]/td[1]. You could store
that xpath and then verify the property or get fancier with the xpath to do the
verification within the xpath
For 2 you could use following:sibling if your data is in a table.
//tab...@id='tableCustomerData']/tr/td[contains(.,'yourCustomerId)]/following-sibling::*
Again you could store the xpath and verify the property or possibly get fancy
with xpath to do it for you.
Hope this helps, I think xpath might be the solution you are looking for do a
google search for xpath tutorial and go through the w3cschools tutorial if you
don't know about xpath. http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/
I guess you could do all that with scriptStep and some JS scripting:

I might be wrong though, I am still a newbie at this - others might provide
more insight.
Enjoy!
