Re: [Wtr-general] Can I access caption attribute of a checkbox?

Hi,

I am using latest watir version i.e 1.4.1.

When I say ie.frame(:index,3).checkboxes[1].attribute_value("caption") ,

it throws exception saying

"undefined method `attribute_value' for #<Watir::CheckBox:0x2e27498> (NoMethodError)"

How do I proceed?

Thanks,

Amitha

Hi,

Which watir version are you using? Latest version has a method called 'attribute_value' that you can try that to get the value of 'caption' attribute. So you try the following:

ie.checkboxes[1].attribute_value("caption")

Hi,

Sorry thats the javascipt which I had given.

Checkboxes on this page are generated by a third party tool which uses the following _javascript_s:

<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>

Is there way to access the html generated this way?I want to get the display name of the checkbox which is present as caption in the view source page as

"a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A2;"
I want the text "CHILD_A2"

View Source of the page looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>CHECK</title>

<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>

<script type="text/_javascript_">

function init() {
myTree = new Bs_Tree();
myTree.imageDir = './images/';
myTree.useCheckboxSystem      = true;
myTree.useAutoSequence = false;
myTree.checkboxSystemWalkTree = 3;
myTree.initByArray(a);
myTree.drawInto('treeDiv1');
}

</script>

<script type = "text/_javascript_">

var a = new Array;
a[0] = new Array;
a[0]['id'] = '99999'

a[0]['checkboxName'] ='CNAME_14'
a[0]['caption'] = 'Check Here' (#This is the data I want to retrieve)

a[0]['isOpen'] = true
a[0]['children'] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['id']='51';
a[0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A';
a[0]['children'][0]['checkboxName']='VELOZ_51';
a[0]['children'][0]['children'] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['id']='52';
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A1;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['checkboxName']='ID_52';
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['id']='54';
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A2;

a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['checkboxName']='ID_54';
</script>

<body >

<div style="margin-top:5px;margin-left:5px;" id="treeDiv1"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Hi,

   Can I access caption attribute of a checkbox?

I want to retrieve the display name of the checkbox and this data is present in the caption attribute in the html source. The checkboxes are in the form of a tree.

HTML Source is:

var a = new Array;

a[0] = new Array;
a[0]['id'] = '99999'
a[0]['checkboxName'] ='CNAME_14'
a[0]['caption'] = 'Check Here' (#This is the data I want to retrieve)

ie.checkboxes[1].name gives CNAME_14

but ie.checkboxes[1].caption throws the following exception:

undefined method `caption' for #<Watir::CheckBox:0x33c6b38> (NoMethodError)

I want to get the data in caption attribute i.e 'Check Here'. How do I retrieve it?

Thanks,

Amitha
