to "get" the "type" of the field

ddivakars

I have a field "B", the type of which changes according to another field say A

I need to find out, if the type of B is a Dropdown menu or textbox or text area or checkbox or datepicker.

is it possible to "get" the "type" of the field?

thanks

Hi Diwakar,

If the element has an id, use browser.byId("id").fetch("type")

Or you could assert for the type of object by checking that element exists.

if (browser.textbox("id").exists()) {
// then good.
}

If the type was "text", it would be identified as textbox or else as browser.select or browser.textarea etc.
