Are you able to edit the page under test? You could simply add an id to it to make it easier to test.
Firebug is capable of telling you the exact XPath to an element, I belive there are other useful Firefox plugins you could use for the same purpose, although I've found that relying on overly long/deep XPath statements can lead to very brittle tests when other contents of the page change. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ali, Haneef Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Webtest] How to handle this case where button is not part of form? Hi, I have a strange case, which I'm not sure how to test it. Can someone give me a hint? Btw I'm a newbie to webtest. I have button to click which is not part of any form and it doesn't have an id attribute. How to click this button? Is xpath only way? Also is there a easy way to figure out the xpath of the element? It is nested within so many div/table/span tags. Is there something like <callJavascriptFunction name=" lowestConfig.submit()" /> <input name="customize" title="Customize your needs" class="commButton115_20" style="width: 120px;" onclick="lowestConfig.submit();" type="submit" value="Customize & Buy >"/> Also is there any proposal to have pluggable webdriver? Something similar to JWebunit which can be used either with Selenium instead of HtmlUnit . Thanks, Haneef
