I've got a select element in my HTML page and I'd like to do a specific action using Mootools when a particular value of this select is chosen but I don't know how to access the element.
My element has cars_number as id and to access value 1 of this select element I've tried cars_number[1] but it doesn't work.
Try with:
$('cars_number').getSelected();

So there is a page that I want to perform some action on with puppeteer. The problem is that there is a text area in which I want to type in something however the id of it is :
id="pin-draft-title-13a10e18-5a1e-49b9-893c-c5e028dc63e1"
As you might have guess for some reason only pin-draft-title remains the same but the whole number part changes for every refresh so puppeteer can't find it. I tried deleting the id and copying the selector itself the whoe #_Root div>div etc but that seems to be changing after sometime as well. So the main question is is there any way i can just select it using the pin-draft-title part and no matter what numbers follow it still selects it ?
You can use [id^=pin-draft-title-]
In case of javascript, if you want to select all the elements whos ID starts with a specified string or pattern, in your case "pin-draft-title", then consider using the following syntax.
document.querySelectorAll('[id^="pin-draft-title"]');
Trying to select the Export button below which has an ID and name. I know I can getelementbyID but not sure how to then specify to further drill into the getattribute("name") because the getelementbyID wil only return 1 value, not an array
Thanks!

getElementsByName("export")(0) the first part will give you the array of elements called export the (0) gives you the first.
It is faster to use querySelector than getElementsBy.
For example, just got direct with an attribute = value selector
ie.document.querySelector("[name=export]")
If more than one then add the parent td element id
ie.document.querySelector("#bottomButtonRow [name=export]")

I am having trouble using selecting from this select element.
<select name="vehicle_attrs[position_count]" class="mb1"><option>Position / Quantity</option><option>Front</option><option>Rear</option></select>
I have tried
select('Front', :from=>'mb1')
select('Front', :from=>'vehicle_attrs[position_count]')
select('Front', :from=>'vehicle_attrs[1]')
All of them result in a can not find selection box error
I've never liked how restrictive Capybara's concept of a 'locator' is (i.e. must have a name/id/label), but if you dig into the source code, those helpful methods like select, click_on, and fill_in are just wrappers for find and some native method of Element, which takes arbitrary CSS, and works in almost all situations. In this case, you could use:
find('[name="vehicle_attrs[position_count]"]').find('option', text: 'Front').select_option
Since dropdowns often have multiple similar options, where one is a substring of the other, you might consider using an exact string match, like
find('[name="vehicle_attrs[position_count]"]').find('option', text: /\AFront\z/).select_option
From the docs for select - https://www.rubydoc.info/github/teamcapybara/capybara/Capybara/Node/Actions#select-instance_method - we can see that the from option takes "The id, Capybara.test_id atrtribute, name or label of the select box".
Neither 'mb1' or 'vehicle_attrs[1]' are any of those so they would be expected to fail.
'vehicle_attrs[position_count]' is the name so assuming the box is actually visible on the page (not replaced with a JS driven select widget, etc), that should work. If it doesn't, then edit your question and add the full exact error message you get when trying to use it. Of course if there is only one select box on the page with an option of 'Front' then you don't need to specify the from option at all and can just do
select 'Front'
I am trying to capture a HTML element, for the purpose of sending the value into GA as an event. I am using GTM, and want to use a click trigger to push this HTML value into a variable.
For example, the tags are set up like this:
<div class ="xxxyyyyzzzz" value1="qwejsdkfj" value3="akhdfjksh">
<div class ="fjk" >
<h1> "xyz2"</h1>
with each level nested under the other. The value we want to capture for GTM purposes is the one that sits under h1 ("xyz2"). Is this possible?
You need to select the value in JS and transmit it to GA via event (or the initial pageview, if you want to hold the number of requests low).
Method without GTM:
Select the value of your HTML tag via selector
// select the value via CSS selector, catch the first result of your query
var selector = document.querySelectorAll(".fjk h1")[0];
// select your category, action and label (I set label with the value of your selector
if(selector) ga('send', 'event', [eventCategory], [eventAction], selector, [eventValue], [fieldsObject]);
Method within GTM:
Create a variable which holds the information of your HTML tag. Use "CSS Selector" in variable definition and use the CSS selector I mentioned above.
Use the variable within your Universal Analytics Tag definition. You can set the value of a custom dimension index with the value of your defined variable.
I am trying to find a way to return the index of a HTML child tag based on its xpath.
For instance, on the right rail of a page, I have three elements:
//*[#id="ctl00_ctl50_g_3B684B74_3A19_4750_AA2A_FB3D56462880"]/div[1]/h4
//*[#id="ctl00_ctl50_g_3B684B74_3A19_4750_AA2A_FB3D56462880"]/div[2]/h4
//*[#id="ctl00_ctl50_g_3B684B74_3A19_4750_AA2A_FB3D56462880"]/div[3]/h4
Assume that I've found the first element, and I want to return the number inside the tag div, which is 1. How can I do it?
I referred to this previous post (How to count HTML child tag in Selenium WebDriver using Java) but still cannot figure it out.
You can get the number using regex:
var regExp = /div\[([^)]+)\]/;
var matches = regExp.exec("//[#id=\"ctl00_ctl50_g_3B684B74_3A19_4750_AA2A_FB3D56462880\"]/div[2]/h4");
console.log(matches[1]); \\ returns 2
You can select preceeding sibling in xpath to get all the reports before your current one like this:
//h4[contains(text(),'hello1')]/preceding-sibling::h4
Now you only have to count how many you found plus the current and you have your index.
Another option would be to select all the reports at once and loop over them checking for their content. They always come in the same order they are in the dom.
for java it could look like this:
List<WebElement> reports = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='ctl00_ctl50_g_3B684B74_3A19_4750_AA2A_FB3D56462880']/div/h4")
for(WebElement element : reports){
if(element.getText().contains("report1"){
return reports.indexOf(element) + 1;
}
}
Otherwise you will have to parse the xpath by yourself to extract the value (see LG3527118's answer for this).
