searching texts in the current page

Hi,

Does sahi have a function which searches texts in the page?

for example if you only have this simple HTML code:

<html>
<body>
<h3>My Information</h3>
<table>
<tr><td>Name</td><td>numner</td></tr>
<tr><td>my name here</td><td>000000000</td></tr>
</table>
<b>Another Information</b>
</body>
</table>
</html>

I can get the values/texts of the table columns, but I don't know how to get sahi to search for the texts "My Information" and "Another Information".

Is this possible?

Thanks!

    Use:
    _assertTrue(_containsText(document.body, "My Information"));

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I am using the Sahi APIs for executing my tests from a FitNesse fixture (see fitnesse.org). I am basically writing methods that are similar to the JAVA examples that come with Sahi. Some examples of the types of assertions I am doing look like this:

    public boolean assertDivTextEquals(String identifier, String text){
    return browser.div(identifier).getText().equals(text);
    }

    public boolean assertCellExists(String identifier){
    return browser.cell(identifier).exists();
    }

    public boolean assertCellIsVisible(String identifier){
    return browser.cell(identifier).isVisible();
    }
    ...and so on.

    Ideally, it would be something like this, with "text" being set to 'Error' or 'Exception':
    public boolean assertTextNotVisible(String text){
    return !document.body.containsText(text);
    }


    Unfortunately, I am not able to find a browser object that represents the 'document.body' that is available in the Sahi script, like you mentioned previously. I don't know if it makes a difference, but my class is not extending the junit TestCase as the example java project does. Instead it is extending a FitNesse Sequence fixture, which is used to execute the test.(necessary for running from within FitNesse).

    Any ideas?

    It looks like I posted too soon. I found an example DriverClientTest.java that has a similar identifier:

    browser.accessor("document.body").containsHTML()

    I think I can go ahead and use this:

    public boolean assertTextNotVisible(String text){
    return !browser.accessor("document.body").containsText(text);
    }

    I will give it a shot!
