Hi

Advise me.. How to manage Dynamic fields in a form (if the fields names change dynamically in the form on each run of my script)?
Let me make it clear by giving an example :

first time when i run the script the textbox fieldname will be say.. abc_1011_name
the second time the field name may change to abc_1013_name or abc_1015_name depends on the no of times many users used the same field to store/save data to db.

give a reply soon please.

George

    Hi George,

    Kindly use : /abc_10/

    Check if this solves your issue.

    even the abc_10 also may change... you know.. i cannot predict the fieldname.. its random generated most of the time. it may be abc_1022_name or bcd_3344_name.

    thats another problem.. so i want to know a solution how to take the fieldname which is used at the time i arrive the form.

    Hi George,

    In that case, you will have to use:

    /.*/ instead of abc_1022_name

    Check if this solves your issue.

    Hi George,

    If you use /.*/ it will consider all the textboxs what ever is the id of the textbox.

    For Eg: If you want to set a value in the text box2 then /.*/ wont work because Sahi wont know where the textbox is present. In that case you will have to use DOM relation.( i.e _in(),_under(),_near()) API's.
