<h3><a name="locators"></a>Element Locators</h3>

<p>

Element Locators tell Selenium which HTML element a command refers to.

The format of a locator is:</p>

<blockquote>

<em>locatorType</em><strong>=</strong><em>argument</em>

</blockquote>

<p>

We support the following strategies for locating elements:

</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>identifier</strong>=<em>id</em>:

Select the element with the specified @id attribute. If no match is

found, select the first element whose &#64;name attribute is <em>id</em>.

(This is normally the default; see below.)</li>

<li><strong>id</strong>=<em>id</em>:

Select the element with the specified &#64;id attribute.</li>

<li><strong>name</strong>=<em>name</em>:

Select the first element with the specified @name attribute.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>username</li>

<li>name=username</li>

</ul>

<p>The name may optionally be followed by one or more <em>element-filters</em>, separated from the name by whitespace.  If the <em>filterType</em> is not specified, <strong>value</strong> is assumed.</p>

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>name=flavour value=chocolate</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>dom</strong>=<em>javascriptExpression</em>:

Find an element by evaluating the specified string.  This allows you to traverse the HTML Document Object

Model using JavaScript.  Note that you must not return a value in this string; simply make it the last expression in the block.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>dom=document.forms['myForm'].myDropdown</li>

<li>dom=document.images[56]</li>

<li>dom=function foo() { return document.links[1]; }; foo();</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>xpath</strong>=<em>xpathExpression</em>:

Locate an element using an XPath expression.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>xpath=//img[&#64;alt='The image alt text']</li>

<li>xpath=//table[&#64;id='table1']//tr[4]/td[2]</li>

<li>xpath=//a[contains(&#64;href,'#id1')]</li>

<li>xpath=//a[contains(&#64;href,'#id1')]/&#64;class</li>

<li>xpath=(//table[&#64;class='stylee'])//th[text()='theHeaderText']/../td</li>

<li>xpath=//input[&#64;name='name2' and &#64;value='yes']</li>

<li>xpath=//*[text()="right"]</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>link</strong>=<em>textPattern</em>:

Select the link (anchor) element which contains text matching the

specified <em>pattern</em>.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>link=The link text</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>css</strong>=<em>cssSelectorSyntax</em>:

Select the element using css selectors. Please refer to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html">CSS2 selectors</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/">CSS3 selectors</a> for more information. You can also check the TestCssLocators test in the selenium test suite for an example of usage, which is included in the downloaded selenium core package.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>css=a[href="#id3"]</li>

<li>css=span#firstChild + span</li>

</ul>

<p>Currently the css selector locator supports all css1, css2 and css3 selectors except namespace in css3, some pseudo classes(:nth-of-type, :nth-last-of-type, :first-of-type, :last-of-type, :only-of-type, :visited, :hover, :active, :focus, :indeterminate) and pseudo elements(::first-line, ::first-letter, ::selection, ::before, ::after). </p>

</li>

</ul>

<p>

Without an explicit locator prefix, Selenium uses the following default

strategies:

</p>

<ul class="simple">

<li><strong>dom</strong>, for locators starting with &quot;document.&quot;</li>

<li><strong>xpath</strong>, for locators starting with &quot;//&quot;</li>

<li><strong>identifier</strong>, otherwise</li>

</ul>

<h3><a name="element-filters">Element Filters</a></h3>

<blockquote>

<p>Element filters can be used with a locator to refine a list of candidate elements.  They are currently used only in the 'name' element-locator.</p>

<p>Filters look much like locators, ie.</p>

<blockquote>

<em>filterType</em><strong>=</strong><em>argument</em></blockquote>

<p>Supported element-filters are:</p>

<p><strong>value=</strong><em>valuePattern</em></p>

<blockquote>

Matches elements based on their values.  This is particularly useful for refining a list of similarly-named toggle-buttons.</blockquote>

<p><strong>index=</strong><em>index</em></p>

<blockquote>

Selects a single element based on its position in the list (offset from zero).</blockquote>

</blockquote>

<h3><a name="patterns"></a>String-match Patterns</h3>

<p>

Various Pattern syntaxes are available for matching string values:

</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>glob:</strong><em>pattern</em>:

Match a string against a "glob" (aka "wildmat") pattern. "Glob" is a

kind of limited regular-expression syntax typically used in command-line

shells. In a glob pattern, "*" represents any sequence of characters, and "?"

represents any single character. Glob patterns match against the entire

string.</li>

<li><strong>regexp:</strong><em>regexp</em>:

Match a string using a regular-expression. The full power of JavaScript

regular-expressions is available.</li>

<li><strong>exact:</strong><em>string</em>:

Match a string exactly, verbatim, without any of that fancy wildcard

stuff.</li>

</ul>

<p>

If no pattern prefix is specified, Selenium assumes that it's a "glob"

pattern.

<param name="locator">an <a href="#locators">element locator</a></param>

<param name="value">the value to type</param>

<comment>Simulates keystroke events on the specified element, as though you typed the value key-by-key.

<p>This is a convenience method for calling keyDown, keyUp, keyPress for every character in the specified string;

this is useful for dynamic UI widgets (like auto-completing combo boxes) that require explicit key events.</p>

<p>Unlike the simple "type" command, which forces the specified value into the page directly, this command

may or may not have any visible effect, even in cases where typing keys would normally have a visible effect.

For example, if you use "typeKeys" on a form element, you may or may not see the results of what you typed in

the field.</p>

<p>In some cases, you may need to use the simple "type" command to set the value of the field and then the "typeKeys" command to

send the keystroke events corresponding to what you just typed.</p></comment>

<param name="optionLocator">an option locator (a label by default)</param>

<comment>Select an option from a drop-down using an option locator.

<p>

Option locators provide different ways of specifying options of an HTML

Select element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for asserting

that the selected option satisfies a specification). There are several

forms of Select Option Locator.

</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>label</strong>=<em>labelPattern</em>:

matches options based on their labels, i.e. the visible text. (This

is the default.)

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>label=regexp:^[Oo]ther</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>value</strong>=<em>valuePattern</em>:

matches options based on their values.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>value=other</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>id</strong>=<em>id</em>:

matches options based on their ids.

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>id=option1</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>index</strong>=<em>index</em>:

matches an option based on its index (offset from zero).

<ul class="first last simple">

<li>index=2</li>

</ul>

</li>

</ul>

<p>

If no option locator prefix is provided, the default behaviour is to match on <strong>label</strong>.

<function name="submit">

<param name="formLocator">an <a href="#locators">element locator</a> for the form you want to submit</param>

<comment>Submit the specified form. This is particularly useful for forms without

submit buttons, e.g. single-input "Search" forms.</comment>

</function>

<function name="open">

<param name="url">the URL to open; may be relative or absolute</param>

<comment>Opens an URL in the test frame. This accepts both relative and absolute

URLs.

The "open" command waits for the page to load before proceeding,

ie. the "AndWait" suffix is implicit.

<em>Note</em>: The URL must be on the same domain as the runner HTML

due to security restrictions in the browser (Same Origin Policy). If you

need to open an URL on another domain, use the Selenium Server to start a

new browser session on that domain.</comment>

</function>

<function name="openWindow">

<param name="url">the URL to open, which can be blank</param>

<param name="windowID">the JavaScript window ID of the window to select</param>

<comment>Opens a popup window (if a window with that ID isn't already open).

After opening the window, you'll need to select it using the selectWindow

command.

<p>This command can also be a useful workaround for bug SEL-339.  In some cases, Selenium will be unable to intercept a call to window.open (if the call occurs during or before the "onLoad" event, for example).

In those cases, you can force Selenium to notice the open window's name by using the Selenium openWindow command, using

an empty (blank) url, like this: openWindow("", "myFunnyWindow").</p></comment>

</function>

<function name="selectWindow">

<param name="windowID">the JavaScript window ID of the window to select</param>

<comment>Selects a popup window; once a popup window has been selected, all

commands go to that window. To select the main window again, use null

as the target.

<p>Selenium has several strategies for finding the window object referred to by the "windowID" parameter.</p>

<p>1.) if windowID is null, then it is assumed the user is referring to the original window instantiated by the browser).</p>

<p>2.) if the value of the "windowID" parameter is a JavaScript variable name in the current application window, then it is assumed

that this variable contains the return value from a call to the JavaScript window.open() method.</p>

<p>3.) Otherwise, selenium looks in a hash it maintains that maps string names to window objects.  Each of these string

names matches the second parameter "windowName" past to the JavaScript method  window.open(url, windowName, windowFeatures, replaceFlag)

(which selenium intercepts).</p>

<p>If you're having trouble figuring out what is the name of a window that you want to manipulate, look at the selenium log messages

which identify the names of windows created via window.open (and therefore intercepted by selenium).  You will see messages

like the following for each window as it is opened:</p>

<p><code>debug: window.open call intercepted; window ID (which you can use with selectWindow()) is "myNewWindow"</code></p>

<p>In some cases, Selenium will be unable to intercept a call to window.open (if the call occurs during or before the "onLoad" event, for example).

(This is bug SEL-339.)  In those cases, you can force Selenium to notice the open window's name by using the Selenium openWindow command, using

an empty (blank) url, like this: openWindow("", "myFunnyWindow").</p></comment>

</function>

<function name="selectFrame">

<param name="locator">an <a href="#locators">element locator</a> identifying a frame or iframe</param>

<comment>Selects a frame within the current window.  (You may invoke this command

multiple times to select nested frames.)  To select the parent frame, use

"relative=parent" as a locator; to select the top frame, use "relative=top".

<p>You may also use a DOM expression to identify the frame you want directly,

like this: <code>dom=frames["main"].frames["subframe"]</code></p></comment>

</function>

<function name="getLogMessages">

<return type="string">all log messages seen since the last call to this API</return>

<comment>Return the contents of the log.

<p>This is a placeholder intended to make the code generator make this API

available to clients.  The selenium server will intercept this call, however,

and return its recordkeeping of log messages since the last call to this API.

Thus this code in JavaScript will never be called.</p>

<p>The reason I opted for a servercentric solution is to be able to support

multiple frames served from different domains, which would break a

centralized JavaScript logging mechanism under some conditions.</p></comment>

<p>This is useful in proxy injection mode, where this code runs in every

browser frame and window, and sometimes the selenium server needs to identify

the "current" frame.  In this case, when the test calls selectFrame, this

routine is called for each frame to figure out which one has been selected.

The selected frame will return true, while all others will return false.</p></comment>
