Thanks to Mike and Robin for your input
Robin, the actual problem is to click on the item in the ajax 'thingy' list (step 3) as I don't know how to specify xpath or DOM _expression_ to locate clickable list element with value 'AMAZON'
here's what I'm trying to do
.......
|type|_textElementId|AM
|assertElementPresent|_ajaxDisplayArea|
<!-- now click ajax list item with value 'AMAZON' -->
|click|xpath=//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'AMAZON']| - JSH: selenium breaks here as innerHTML is not an attribute but nested property
<!-- after ajax list item has been selected the hidden field should have the value set to itemOid selected
|waitForValue|_hiddenElementId|OID_OF_AMAZON_ITEM
this is how relevant DOM section look like after step 2:
DIV ID(_ajaxDisplayArea)
DIV
SPAN
SPAN
IFRAME ID(_ajaxFrame)
Another question to Mike, David Kemp and Robin is how to TAB out of text field in selenium - please note
|fireEvent|_textElementId|blur
does not work as ajax has already hijacked and redefined onBlur handler
thanks
JSH

Hi,
Thanks for your replies .I have used following approach to find the position
of two elements relative to each other.
I have added the following functions in user-extentions.js
Selenium.prototype.assertElementAbove = function(locator1, locator2) {
var element1 = this.page().findElement(locator1);
var element2 = this.page().findElement(locator2);
// Get Y coordinates of elements
var Y1 = findPosY(element1);
var Y2 = findPosY(element2);
if(parseFloat(Y1) < parseFloat(Y2))
{
Assert.matches('1', '1');
// here I wanted a command which tells selenium that the test is correct and
as I don't know that I matched 1 with 1
}
else
{
Assert.matches('First element is below or at the same place as second
','1','2');
// here I wanted a command which tells selenium that the test is failed and
as I don't know that I matched 1 with 2
}
};
function findPosY(obj)
{
var curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent)
{
while (obj.offsetParent)
{
curtop += obj.offsetTop
obj = obj.offsetParent;
}
}
else if (obj.y)
curtop += obj.y;
return curtop;
}
and used following code in my test script
<!-- to find if "Print my bill" is above "Bill messages" link -->
<tr>
<td>verifyElementAbove</td>
<td>link=Print my bill</td>
<td>link=Bill messages</td>
</tr>
Its running fine and there are no issues with it.
*BUT* as you see I have used Assert.matches('1', '1'); to make sure that
this test pass when if condition is satisfied and Assert.matches('First
element is below or at the same place as second ','1','2'); where it fails.
This is just a work around as I don't know what command is there to tell
selenium that the test is correct / incorrect
Does anyone has idea if there is some command like assertGreater etc. or any
other better way to do that.
Regards,
Rahul Chaturvedi

Hi Jake. Long time no see.
After Selenium has executed a command, it can be set to wait until some
condition is true before continuing. Basically, it will poll until the
"readyToContinue" condition is true. Typically the condition is that a
new page has loaded, and is set up by appending "AndWait" to a command.
However, a while back David Kemp added the "waitForValue" command, which
will cause Selenium to wait (ie. poll) until a certain input element has
a specified value. This can be used to wait until an asynchronous event
(ie. AJAX) has populated a form field.
(Proviso: "waitForValue" only does exact matching of the value right now
... but it could easily be changed to use PatternMatcher.)
Take a look at the source for doWaitForValue(); it's pretty
straightforward. If it's not suitable for your purposes, it should be
relatively easy to roll your own doWaitForSomethingElse() function.
Hope that helps.

Try this instead:
if(parseFloat(Y1) >= parseFloat(Y2))
{
Assert.fail('First element is below or at the same place as second');
};

you don't say what the problem is. I have recently been through this exercise of
handling AJAX with selenium and found two problems.
1) waiting on dynamically loaded content.
2) waiting for the target page DOM to construct stuff.
My answer to 2) was simple just pause an appropriate amount of time. I tried
pausing for 1), but that didn't work when the server got transatlantic and
latency was larger.
My answer to 1) was approximately as follows.
add selenium commands
prepareForAjax & waitForAjax.
prepareForAjax started waiting for all my target page ajax objects to be sent.
waitForAjax waited until all the ajaxy things started since the call of
prepareForAjax had finished and then paused for the data to be processed.
The test then looked like
prepareForAjax||
click|myajaxthingy|
waitForAjax|1000|wait on the ajax and then some
Sounds pretty easy, but was in fact quite hard and took some effort to get
things working properly. The main problem was how to get at all the activated
ajax things. I guess a proper approach would be to wrap the XMLHttpRequest
object in the target page so it did that for us, but I had already got my own
wrapper and had to hack that to provide onSend and onFinish events (my wrapper
always finishes perhaps with error/timeout) so I can guarantee that the wait for
the async stuff will eventually terminate.
