Is it possible to click on a random <a> from a loaded HTML document in embedded webBrowser in my form? I'm using VB.net
I'm in a spot of bother. I've managed to get the Webbrowser to navigate to the page I want to be on, now i want it to invoke with page elements.
This is where it gets odd ok, sorry.
I have a rich text box of urls (these URLS are user inputted and match the links on the page I've already navigated to.)
I'd like to select a url at random from the richtextbox (up holds up to 10 lines) then find the href= on the page and invoke the <a>
Is this possible?
If I understand correctly, you have the webBrowser control with the current page loaded, and you want to select from the textbox a link to navigate to.
So you have the WebBrowser.Document.Body.InnerHtml property where you have the HTML of the loaded document, so i guess you can search that to match the input from your text box and with the url from the href call the Navigate method.
Hope that helps
WebBrowser.Document doesn't provide good Intellisense, but you have the full range of dom functions available to you at this point... (eg. getElementsByTag(string); )

I'm trying to take the full html source of the tab in
this page
I want to take the source of
this tab
But unfortunately, the html I'm getting is not completed.
I registered a gif to explain it better
That select list is showing just when I inspect the element, while If I just insect the element with the list closed, it doesn't return any list html.. is it created dinamically when the user click on it?
I've tried to expand all the codes, but unfortunately it seems the html of every list is not appearing.. It might be created just when I open the list?
Is there a way to get the lists html?
Hope I've been clear.
Not sure what you want to save, but by inspecting it sources, it seems that the website use the way of removing and appending the html source which means only you pressed the expanded button, Javascript will append it (different options) to the body, otherwise it will not shown in the element tab.
I don't think you could get all html tags in just 1 try because the website use Javascript to append the html and you can't see it in the element section in console when the element is being removed.
Example:
You can save the page if you want. Just save it with Ctrl+S and you will find the basic source in there along with the stylesheet and other scripts.
Hello Stackoverflow community,
I am working with selenium IDE and I have the following problem:
I have to move a web content within a web content Management System from one folder to another. Therefore I have to click on a "Select" button to specify a target folder, then an iframe opens up where I can navigate through the "tree structure" of the folders.
The original page looks like this:
original page with "Select"-button
The structure of the web content management system is as follows:
Home
-Test(=Parent Folder):
-UniqueTitle
-UniqueTitle2
Because the folder that I want to adress(UniqueTitle2) lies one hierarchy below my current folder(I am in UniqueTitle), I have to click on the parent Folder "TEST" to go one hierarchy back. This is a link to the "TEST"-folder.
iframe where you can select the target folder
The problem is that on the original page below the iframe, the same Link to the "TEST"-folder exists as a breadcrumb. So if selenium clicks on the href link, it actually clicks the link on the original page, and not the one in the iframe.
I tried the following:
to select the iframe:
storeAttribute|css=iframe.dialog-iframe-node#id|iframeIDE
selectFrame|id=${iframeID}
to click on the link:
clickAndWait|link=TEST
clickAndWait|//a[contains(#href,'https://www.companyname.com/language/projectname/manage/maintenance/web-content-management[...]folderid=465576')]
Here is a HTML Snippet of the iframe:
TEST
How can I differentiate between these two, so my script will click within the iframe?
Thank you in advance and let me know if you need more information.
you have two options:
1. don't use iframe, use div or section instead
using this approach, you have to move the code for file selection to the main page. use AJAX to populate the file list to the div. this approach is often called single page application, though you don't need to move everything to a single page, just the file selection codes.
2. set allow-origin header of your iframe to your domain name or *
you should read about how to set this HTTP header.

Probably duplicate of How to switch between frames in Selenium WebDriver using Java
First thing when you want to do something inside iframe is switch to it.
WebDriver.SwitchTo().Frame(WebDriver.FindElement(By.Id("iframe")));
After that you can click on element.
When you want to back you can use:
WebDriver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
I'm working on an email, and the writer wants the link to go directly to a video on a page. This video is in a tab, and lower on the page.
I set up an anchor to go to the video, but once Universal Analytics tracking has been added to the URL, the anchor link no longer works.
Works:
Link Text
Loads Page Without Going to Anchor:
Link Text
Is there anything I can do to get the anchor link to work properly?
I think the URL is a bit malformed in the second example (it may work but it's not what you mean to be accessing necessarily)
Try using:
http://www.foo.com/page-name/?tabset0=1&utm_source=foo-source&utm_medium=foo-medium&utm_content=foo-content&utm_campaign=foo-campaign#anchor-name
Fragment identifiers / anchor (as you refer to it) are supposed to be given at the end (the very end) of the address-- if you put it in the middle of the query it won't be passed correctly. In fact, fragment identifiers aren't given to the server. Only the client gets those... the CGI query is definitely given to the server.
Here's some more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier
This is weird!
I have set up a form using RapidMailer, and on an external site it works fine. (Just to complicate matters, the form is within a <div> as I display a background image, and then use the <div> to position the signup box halfway down the page)
But ...
Put it within an Facebook (Thunderpenny) StaticHTML page, (which I think is <iframe>?) and whilst I can enter name/email, and the submit button shows mouse up/mouse down events, it just won't submit.
I tried adding "pointer-event:auto" to the div so that it was to the fore, but no go. And no good asking the app creator as I doubt I'll get a response. Anyone any ideas? (** I could include page code, but it's 90% links to external js files Rapidmailer sets up)
Is it 'cos I got a <div> within an <iframe>? Do I need to add an <object> to the code somewhere???
It turns out that for some reason, the HTML code cannot find / use the javascripts even with direct URL's. I strongly suspect it's to do with "cross browser" limitations. In otherwords, the StaticHTML <iframe> is on one server, and the HTML code is trying to access javascript on a second server. And as the RapidMailer script is using three scripts direct from jquery.com, it's difficult to know what can be eliminated as they all contain error trapping routines.
In the end, I had to add a direct link to a status update on the Facebook page, and redirect it to the signup form on my blog. I then pinned the post the top. Alas, now for some reason it won't display a graphic with the link, and instead insists on showing the URL itself! Oh well!
If there are a few form elements like textbox and links. I want to click on a link to navigate to next page. Is there anyway to get the value of the textbox into this new page? Or can I get the value of the link displayed to the next page?
There are two ways I can see:
You would need to post the data to the server and the process it into the next page.
or
You load what you want on the next page with an AJAX call and then replace the old content with the new. You can do this pretty easily with an Javascript library like jQuery or Dojo.
