Recording for Dynamically changing "Div Id"

Akshada

Hi Narayan,

I am recording a script in Java for my application.
My application creates graphs. On clicking on any graph i get to see the list of data for the graph.

The graph gets created everytime with diffrerent "div Id" Eg: browser.div("9-bodygraphDiv").click();
Now this "9" will change the next time and increment to 10, when i create a new graph on playback.
My script would fail as the new graph would have 10-bodygraphDiv" and so on.

Also i have seen the "Alternatives" but they too are some DivId's.
Any suggestion would be great!!

Is there something else i could do?? Can I use "browser.area"?? How???

Thanking in Advance!!!

Hi,

You could use a regular expression: browser.div(/\d*-bodygraphDiv/).click();
This wil match browser.div("9-bodygraphDiv").click(); browser.div(10-bodygraphDiv").click(); ...

Hi wgoris,

Thanks for ur reply!!!

But there is a problem....
My Dashboard contains say 5 graphs for instance.
Out of which the Reg-ex matches all 5.
So now which graph it will click???
Is there some method where i'll get how many elements (Regex condition ) is matching so that i can tell it to click on "2nd Element/Graph" or so....

Thanks again for the Help!!

Perhaps you can get the right div by using his dom or positional relation?
You can find more info here: http://sahi.co.in/w/all-apis

Narayan,
I am getting problem with dynamic id. Here id's are keep changing every time. so while running the scripts it is not identifying the exact location. so does we have any alternate option to run the scripts.
Please find the attached script

Original script:

_setValue(_textbox("PortletHandler\$Portlet29\$PartNumTextBox"), "testwds23");

$Portlet29 will automatically increased to next number

I am trying like this way:

var $temp = "PortletHandler" + "\\$portlet" + $i + "\\$TransTypeDropdown";
_alert($temp);
//var $test = $temp;
//_setSelected(_select($test), "INSPECTION");
_setValue(_textbox("PortletHandler" + "\\$portlet".replace('\','') + $i + "\\$PartNumTextBox".replace('\','')), "testwds23");
_setSelected(_select("PortletHandler" + "\\$portlet".replace('\','') + $i + "\\$TransTypeDropdown".replace('\','')), "INSPECTION");

for above scenario i am getting problem with escape characters
does we have silverlight support?
Please help me here.
Thanks,
Chandu

Akshada,

Use
browser.div("/bodygraphDiv/[0]").click();
through
browser.div("/bodygraphDiv/[5]").click();
to click on the various graphs.

Chandu,

Use,

_setValue(_textbox("PortletHandler$Portlet" + $i + "$PartNumTextBox"), "testwds23");


If the $i is not determinable at this point, and only one portlet is available at any time, you can replace the number with a regular expression.

_setValue(_textbox("/PortletHandler[$]Portlet.*[$]PartNumTextBox/"), "testwds23");

Hi Narayan,

The graphs are made in Flash ...
So i guess , there has to be something else to invoke a click.
However , There is a blog :http://ashwinilalit.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-automate-flash-chart-using-sahi.html
but the algorithm is lil complicated to understand...Can this be really done???

Thank you for the Help!!
