get links of specific panel

siva

Dear All,

I am siva, i am having doubt regarding "document.links"

when we use document.links we will get all the links in that page
but if i wanna get a specific area links only it is not getting for me

if there is two panels in page, ie. left panel and right panel, if i wanna get only the links in left panel then how to write a syntax instead of document.links

kindly provide a syntax for this problem

Thanks in advance to all

Hi

try to use the _collect API, example here
it should work as _collect(elementType, name, _in(leftPanel))

Dear Wormi,

thanks a lot for your reply

i am new to sahi, i am not getting how to use _collect(elementType, name, _in(leftPanel))

to understand my problem please view this site
http: // sdeportal.ct.gov/Cedar/WEB/ct_report/DTHome.aspx

here we can see some links in left side like


Average Class Size
CAPT
CMT
Discipline

this links are existing under "---_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1")---" div tag
now if i use "---document.links---" i am getting all the links but i want only the links count and links data which is existing in left side under "---div tag---"

i have tried like this way

_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1").document.links
and
var $els = _collect("_link", _div("Menutagname1_TreeView1"));

but it is displaying error

the solution for this in QTP is like this way i have used, it will get only the links count and links data from that specific left side "---div tag---"

QTP: --- Set Links_SubjectArea = Browser("micclass:=Browser").Page("micclass:=Page").WebElement("html id:=Menutagname1_TreeView1").ChildObjects(oDescLink)

now i want the same way which i have shown above in QTP, i want in sahi

please provide me the syntax in sahi to get the links under "---div tag---"

Thanks in advance and thanks a lot for your reply

hi siva


_count("_link", "/./", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1")));
will return 19, the number of links in the left sidebar
var $allLinksCollected = _collect("_link", "/./", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1")));
should store all link objekts in an array

hope this helps

Dear Wormi,

Awesome! this is working fine. thanks a lot

but i got small problem with getting link name of that link object which is stored in array

actually i need the link names to be used again and again when ever i required . so i have storing this values in array and try to retrieve again
when i try to retrieve the array instead of giving link name it is giving

_link("/./[0]", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1"))).text


i use
var $allLinksCollected = _collect("_link", "/./", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1")));
$allLinksCollected[$i].text to get the link name


i have written code like this

var $allLinksCollected = _collect("_link", "/./", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1")));
var $arry_SubjArea = [];
$arry_SubjArea = $allLinksCollected;

for(var $i=0; $i<$allLinksCollected.length; $i++){
$arry_SubjArea[$i] = $allLinksCollected[$i].text;
}

for(var $i=0; $i<$arry_SubjArea.length; $i++){
_debug("

---

"+ $arry_SubjArea[$i] +"

---

");
_alert("

---

"+ $arry_SubjArea[$i] +"

---

");
}


please open the site and run the above code

URL: http: // sdeportal.ct.gov/Cedar/WEB/ct_report/DTHome.aspx

when i use to see the output of _alert(), it is displaying the link names in correct format
Example: Average Class Size


but when i use _debug() instead of _alert() it is not displaying as "--- Average class size---"
it is displaying as "--- _link("/./[0]", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1"))).text ---"
im not getting the link name when i use _debug()


why this is displaying differently in _debug() and _alert()
when i use _alert() it is displaying correctly with link name
but
when i use _debug() it is not displaying correctly with link name

Thank you very much for your help

This might be happening because _debug works in the proxy and and _alert in the browser. Try to use _set when storing browser data

_set($arry_SubjArea[$i], $allLinksCollected[$i].text);

Dear Wormi,

i have small doubt in this line.
could you please tell me the use of

"/./"

in below line. im not getting what is the use of this

var $allLinksCollected = _collect("_link", "/./", _in(_div("Menutagname1_TreeView1")));

Thank you

the "/./" is the regular expression, which is matched against the link names. "//" wasn't working, I dont know why..

_collect("_link", "/./") says: store all links with a name containing anything in an array. google for JavaScript regular expressions and pattern matching, this may be more usefull than me explaining
