Hi Gert, You're so very close. Try the following:
<verifyXPath description="Check raises an alert 2" xpath="normalize-space(//tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC list']/td[2]/fo...@color='#FF0000'])" text="Alert"/> Sorry, before I had incorrectly used "value" when it should have been "text".

I am trying out my second issue first, namely the 'Wholename on OFAC list' issue. I have come up with this so far: <verifyXPath description="Check raises an alert 2" xpath="//tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC list']"/> This actually passes the test: using the xpath I can find the element a that matches the text specified. The second part of my test is a bit trickier it seems. I can't seem to find the second <td> in which there is an element <font> that has the value 'Alert'. I tried the following: <verifyXPath description="Check raises an alert 2" xpath="//tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC list']/td[2]/font=normalize-space('Alert')"/> The test comes back with an error message: xpath test: //tr[./td[1]/child::a='Wholename Retail on OFAC list']/td[2]/font=normalize-space('Alert') evaluates to false I also tried without normalize-space, to no avail. I also move the second part before the closing square bracket, but no success either. I will continue trying of course, but if you have any ideas, don't hesitate! Thank you Gert P.S. I attach a sample source code. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Webtest] Verifying texts at exact location on screen Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:42:11 -0600 What about xpath? For 1 you can use a pretty restrictive xpath to verify the location in the dom, in your example //tab...@id='tableCustomerData']/tr[1]/td[1].<mailto:tab...@id='tableCustomerData']/tr[1]/td[1].> You could store that xpath and then verify the property or get fancier with the xpath to do the verification within the xpath For 2 you could use following:sibling if your data is in a table. //tab...@id='tableCustomerData']/tr/td[contains(.,'yourCustomerId)]/following-sibling::*<mailto:tab...@id='tableCustomerData']/tr/td[contains(.,'yourCustomerId)]/following-sibling::*> Again you could store the xpath and verify the property or possibly get fancy with xpath to do it for you. Hope this helps, I think xpath might be the solution you are looking for do a google search for xpath tutorial and go through the w3cschools tutorial if you don't know about xpath. http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/ ________________________________ I guess you could do all that with scriptStep and some JS scripting: http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/scriptStep.html I might be wrong though, I am still a newbie at this - others might provide more insight.
