    You need to retrieve the text using _getText. It would look something like this, depending on how the element is identified.

    var $caseNo = _getText(_cell("caserefid"));

    var $caseNo = _getText(_cell(0, _near(_cell("Case reference number"))));

    Hi naraya
    Thanks for your fast reply.Actually i tried the answer you suggested
    Error is coming like

    _sahi.setServerVar('___lastValue___1290070168768', _getText(_cell("FADV Reference #:")));
    Error: The parameter passed to _getText was not found on the browser
    No trace available

    So can you suggest me some other way to copy the value.

    Thanks

    Hi Aparanji,

    Go to the web page where you should see the control, paste _getText(_cell("FADV Reference #:")) into the "Evaluate expression" box in Controller's recorder tab, and click "Highlight". If it cannot find it, modify the expression and check till you get it right.

    In your case I think you need a regular expression to match it. Try with
    _getText(_cell("/FADV Reference #:/"))
