Extract automatic id=

sahirom

Hello,

I decided to use Sahi for my testing project.
Unfortunately, after a few clicks I encountered a problem. In a page, there are some more textareas, combos and date-pickers to fill in.
Each of them has this specific id and name in the source code:
id="Blah___blah___fe27a13d-8f2c-4fd1-a5b2-a98c835995ee" name="Blah___blah___fe27a13d-8f2c-4fd1-a5b2-a98c835995ee"
What I want is to extract this token (fe27a13d-8f2c-4fd1-a5b2-a98c835995ee), because I need it when set and submit the values.
I have found that the matching regexp is: /\w{8}-\w{4}-\w{4}-\w{4}-\w{12}/, but I don't know how to use it in order to keep the token for later use in the page.

Thank you very much,
B

Hi Sahirom,

If I were you I would ignore those ids totally. Look for some other way of identifying it using _near or _in. Have a look at http://sahi.co.in/w/sahi-api-examples

Hi Narayan,

I have used
_alert(_textbox(_near("Blah_blah")));
and I have this error:
TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or method.

In the page, the name is Blah_blah
and
in the HTML source, the object is:
<input class="validation integerValidation" id="Blah_blah___fe27a13d-8f2c-4fd1-a5b2-a98c835995ee" name="Blah_blah___fe27a13d-8f2c-4fd1-a5b2-a98c835995ee" type="text" value="" />

I'm testing on IE7.

Hi sahirom,

Kindly use:

_alert(_textbox(0,_near(element)));

Hi Sumitra,

It was very simple. Being the first textbox in my page, I have used:
_setValue(_textbox(0), "1111");

Thank you all for helping!
