Hi
I am testing a Ext Js site, and the id is dynamic. The only locator is the "for" attribute. And I need to use Sahi in Java mode to build the test framework with TestNG.
I can make it with javascriput like this:
_setValue(_textbox(_label($searchType).getAttribute('For')),$typeName);
but how to do it with Java mode, which API can be used to do this? Thanks

    Hi, Try with fetch("For"), but it returns null
    I try to look into the attributes of Browser element itself. print out browser.label(searchCriteria).fetch(). but it get [object HTMLLabelElement],
    However, fetch("innerHTML") can get the value.

    Hi Leigh,

    You can do: 
    browser.label(searchCriteria).fetch("getAttribute('For')")
or
browser.label(searchCriteria).fetch("getAttribute('for')")

    This will work on Firefox but not on IE.

    The right way to get the "for" attribute for a label is to get the "htmlFor" property. You can do
    browser.label(searchCriteria).fetch("htmlFor")
    This will work for all browsers.
