[wtr-general] Re: How to click on a div tag
Keeping in mind what Cliff and Orde both say below, if you need to
push forward I might suggest a few things
first, are you sure you need to fire the event against the 'subj'
div? The name of the class for the div above that makes me think it
would be the one with the resize functionality attached to it, and any
click within that area is what might be needed.
Second, you're a really long chain there, and a bunch of it is almost
certainly not needed in order to identify the element you are after.
ID's should be unique on a page, so any time you are locating a chain
like that, mostly by ID, you can generally omit the higher level
items. This isn't like xpath where you need to specify the entire
path to the element, you just need enough info to uniquely identify an
element, and outer containers are really not needed unless that's
where you can make that identification (e.g. the inner item has no
unique properties)
This:
@browser.div(:id,shellcontent).div(:id,inboxcontainer).div(:id,msg-
list).div(:class,list-view ).div(:class,list-view-items
).div(:class=list-view-item btn-msglist resize-
columns, :index=1).div(:class,subj).fire_event('onmousedown')
Could be shortened to at the very least this
@browser.div(:id,msg-list).div(:class,list-view ).div(:class,list-
view-items
).div(:class=list-view-item btn-msglist resize-
columns, :index=1).div(:class,subj).fire_event('onmousedown')
And even more likely down to this:
@browser.div(:class=list-view-item btn-msglist resize-
columns, :index=1).div(:class,subj).fire_event('onmousedown')
Try using IRB along with .flash against the minimum you think you
need, to see if you can properly locate the element. This will make
the code a lot more readable, remove a lot of potential for typos, and
generally make the code a lot less brittle as a change to one of those
outer containers won't break your code. It may also make the code run
slightly faster.
BTW if you are after a specific mail you expect to be on the page, it
might be easier to locate the div by the subject text, and then if
needed make use of .parent to work your way back to an outer container
for that row

[wtr-general] Re: How to click on a div tag
Hi Chuck,
You are right in regards to the length of the id's used in
identification. Also there is lot of dynamic data. short description
should be beneficial. I will fix my script.
I ran my script in IRB, and found that .click is returning back a
value(time it took to execute), but I don't see any change in my
screen. Then I started using fire_events and got partial success with
onmousedown(highlights my email).
Wondered if another fire_event can trigger a 'enter'on that
highlighted email.
Thanks

Thanks Well users would not usually hit the enter key, so I'd think perhaps more along the lines of perhaps onmouseup as what it might be looking for next. Paying attention to how long it takes the UI to respond after the event is good practice, it can clue you into places where you script might need to pause for a second to let client side code execute. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
