We're making tests for an application which allows the user to copy a
spreadsheet from an excel workbook and paste it into a text area. This
causes problems for selenium as the tabs and other formatting
information don't seem easy to enter in html.
Has anyone already solved this kind of problem? I am groping towards
using javascript to set the td text from a string containing '\t', '\n',
'\r' characters. Would that work?
My final solution to this problem was as follows.
1) modify the htmlutils.js to make getText look for a special attribute on the
TD
function getText(element) {
text = "";
if(element.seleniumEncodedContent){
text = decodeURI(element.seleniumEncodedContent);
return text;
}
if(element.textContent) {
text = element.textContent;
} else if(element.innerText) {
text = element.innerText;
}
// Replace with a space
// TODO - should this be in the match() code instead?
text = text.replace(/\240/g, " ");
return text.trim();
}
2) modify the table html so that we run an onload to set up the individual TD
the function to do that looks like
function setup(id,t){
var e = document.getElementById(id);
e.seleniumEncodedContent = encodeURI(t);
if(document.all) e.innerHTML = '<pre>'+t+'</pre>';
else{
var
n=document.createElement('pre').appendChild(document.createTextNode(t));
if(e.firstChild) e.replaceChild(n,e.firstChild);
else e.appendChild(n);
}
}
this allows at least some of the text to be shown reasonably
