type and existence of an object

thornton102

Here's a couple of newbie questions. I have pages that vary whether the user has permission to change something. If they do, it may be a dropdown, but if not, it may be a hidden input.

1. How can I test for the existence of something so I can use it in an IF condition?
2. Similarly, how do I get the type of an object so I can use it in an IF condition?

Hi thornton,

1. Please have a look at the below code,

_navigateTo("http://www.makemytrip.com/";
if(_isVisible(_select("selnoOfAdults")))
{
_log("Visible","success");
}
else
{
_log("Not Visible","failure");
}

2. Controller -> Record tab,

Press "Ctrl" + Mouse Over the Elements to get the type of the Object.

Good Luck !

Cheers,
