Hi All,

In my application I have a list of menu with some text on each. Using Sahi controller I can find out their id like, list1, list2, list3 and so.

but I want these IDs using script. I wish to insert the text name of that menu element in the script and want to retrieve its id, which list(x).

Is there any API to get id of any element. Please help me in this issue.

I am using WinXp, FF3.6 & Sahi Build (2011-07-19).

Thanks in Advance!

    _getAttribute(el, attr) does not work for me.

    If anyone has any idea, please help!

    Hi Nagar,

    i hope the below code will be useful for u

    in below code instead of "_link" u can give what ever the element u want to be find

    Example: _link/ _checkbox/ etc...

    ******************************************************************************

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

    for (var $i=0; $i<$subjArea.length; $i++) {
    _set($arry_SubjArea[$i], $subjArea[$i].id); // here instead of "id" u can give" id/ text/ etc..."
    }

    for (var $i=0; $i<$arry_SubjArea.length; $i++) {
    _debug($arry_SubjArea[$i]); // this line will print all the link id's
    }
