How to check if form exist?

lonely_girl01

Hi,

I am trying to check if a form exist.
I use, _exists(document.forms[id]))
When i evaluate this in the controller, it returns true.
I also combined with DOM relations, _exists(document.forms[id], _in(_div(id))) and it also returns true.

But when i run it in playback, form element is null already.
--Log--
_sahi.setServerVar('___lastValue___1333420826058', _exists(null)); [1266 ms]
_sahi.setServerVar('___lastValue___1333421619813', _exists(null, _in(_div("calcContentSlide")))); [1286 ms]


Please advise guys.

Thanks,
lonely_girl

Hi lonely_girl,

Could you please Ctrl+Hover on the form and use the same to check if it exists?

Have a look at:

Also, kindly use the above API in the script and check if this solves your issue.

Hi smrithi,

Thanks for the reply.
But Ctrl + Hover doesn't read the form as an accessor. It just returns the elements/accessors inside my form (i.e _select, _div, _list, _listItem)
I've also checked the above but didn't find a form accessor (i.e. _form).

Hi lonely_girl,

Install the firefox addon Firebug and use the inspect option available in it to get the exact id of the form. The form may be in div or table tag. Assuming the form is in the table tag you can use

_assertExists(_table("/idIOfTable/"));

or you can check if the different elements in the form exist individually by

if(_exists(_table("/idIOfTable/")))
{
_assertExists(_textbox("/textboxId/", _in(_table("/idIOfTable/"))));
_assertExists(_password("/passwordboxId/", _in(_table("/idIOfTable/"))));
_assertExists(_radio("/radiobuttonId/", _in(_table("/idIOfTable/"))));
_assertExists(_checkbox("/checkboxid/", _in(_table("/idIOfTable/"))));
_assertExists(_select("/dropdownId/", _in(_table("/idIOfTable/"))));
_assertExists(_submit("/buttonId/", _in(_table("/idIOfTable/"))));
}
else
{
_log("The table 'idIOfTable' not found on the page", "failure");
}
