Below is the dom structure of the page :
I have tried
button:contains("srave")
I also tried
button[innerText="srave"]
button[text="srave"]`
button[innerHtml="srave"]`
none of them work.
Need way to get elements when element attribute is not defined.
PS: textContent() return srave as outcome.
Edit:
I have many such button elements on the page. I know I can iterate through all of them and check text. But I want to get web element directly based on the text it contains to reduce the execution time
Did you try: button[class='k-button k-button-icontext'] or button[dir='ltr'] I don't think the cssSelectors you were attempting in your example are correct because you pluralized button. If neither of these work, it may be that there are more than one button on the page with the same selector. In which case it might be better to use xpath or you could get a list of all the elements with the same selector and then get whichever one from that list you created and click it.
No, you can't use CSS Selector. You can use XPath.
//button[text()='srave']
Or
//button[contains(text(),'srave')]
You can use jquery for get the same because css is not select the text.
Working fiddle

Try this
alert($('button').find('span').html());
You can use following css to get the button name with "srave".
HTML
<button data-name="srave">
<span>Brave</span>
</button>
css
button[data-name="srave"] {
background:tomato;
}
To add to danidangerbear here is a java method that will do what you want:
public String getElementText(String elementText){
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("button"));
String elementText = null;
for(WebElement element : elements)
if(element.getText().equals(actualValue)){
elementText = element.getText();
break;
} else {
elementText = "element text does not exist";
continue;
}
return elementText;
}

How can I set the background colour for an item within an if statement in typescript? I used querySelector but the answer can use anything to achieve the result.
The selector is (.mat-step:nth-child(2) .mat-step-header .mat-step-icon-selected).
Here is the code in a stackblitz.
I would appreciate any help!
The stackblitz example can be helpful but there is a lot in there to summarise what you are askign for, this answer is a generic way of doing so, meaning you can apply it to your code as and where you see fit.
Declare you boolean.
public value = true;
Now declare the CSS class you would like to use.
.exmaple-class {
background: red;
}
Then on the selected HTML element you want to apply the class.
<div [class.example-class]="value === true"></div>
or just
<div [class.example-class]="value"></div>
As this still equates to true. If value were set to false then the class would not be applied.
If you want to start building more classes and options for a specific element you can look into Angular's ngStyle.
Add in this, think this is what you are also asking for, little different. It only runs after the view is loaded, not working in you example because the HTML has not yet been drawn.
public ngAfterViewInit(): void
{
this.changeColour();
}
public changeColour() {
document.querySelector<HTMLInputElement>(".mat-step-icon-selected").style.backgroundColor = 'red';
}
}
Then add a click event to ensure that each time you select something the selector is updated.
<div class="center-contrainer" (click)=changeColour()>
In my HTML I have element such as below
HTML:
<hmtl>
<head>
<style>
label::after {
content: " *"
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<label> I'm mandatory</label>
</body>
</hmtl>
So what gets displayed on browser is:
I'm mandatory *
Query Selector
>getComputedStyle(document.querySelector('label')).content
<"normal"
So I see normal instead of *.
I can't see where is normal coming from. Is this the correct way to test content of ::after CSS selector?
I want to test that there's a "*" after the label, but can't seem to be able to get the value of "content" property correctly. Once I'm able to find it in using browser DOM API, I'd eventually want to test it in protractor.
Update
I found the answer at - Selenium WebDriver get text from CSS property "content" on a ::before pseudo element.
Now the question remains how I would test this on protractor.
Window.getComputedStyle()
The Window.getComputedStyle() method returns an object containing the values of all CSS properties of an element, after applying active stylesheets and resolving any basic computation those values may contain. Individual CSS property values are accessed through APIs provided by the object, or by indexing with CSS property names.
Syntax:
var style = window.getComputedStyle(element [, pseudoElt]);
element
The Element for which to get the computed style.
pseudoElt (Optional)
A string specifying the pseudo-element to match. Omitted (or null) for real elements.
The returned style is a live CSSStyleDeclaration object, which updates automatically when the element's styles are changed.
You can find a related discussion in WebDriver select element that has ::before
Usage with pseudo-elements
getComputedStyle() can pull style info from pseudo-elements (such as ::after, ::before, ::marker, ::line-marker.
As per the HTML, the <style> is as follows:
<style>
label::after {
content: " *"
}
</style>
Implemented as:
<label> I'm mandatory</label>
To retrieve you need to:
var label = document.querySelector('label');
var result = getComputedStyle(label, ':after').content;
console.log('the generated content is: ', result); // returns ' *'
Reference
CSS Pseudo-Elements Module Level 4
const label = document.querySelector('label'); // "normal";
console.log(label);
const labelAfter = getComputedStyle(label, ':after').content;
console.log(labelAfter == "normal");
label::after {
content: " *"
}
<label> I'm mandatory</label>
Since my question was specifically w.r.t protractor I'm posting the solution that I got working. Coming to the part I was stuck initially - why do I get "normal" instead of " *"
>getComputedStyle(document.querySelector('label')).content
<"normal"
So earlier I was unaware that ::after creates a pseudo child element inside the label element.
Inspecting <label> element in Chrome shows the below HTML
<label>
I'm mandatory
::after
</label>
If I click<label> element and checked the Computed tab, I could see that the value for content property is normal.
However, if I click on ::after pseudo-element, I can see in the Computed tab the value for content property is " *".
As mentioned in the other answers getComputedStyle() with the pseudo element as second parameter, is the only way to get value of CSS property for "::after". The crux of the problem is that protractor does not have an equivalent for getComputedStyle(), so we have to rely upon browser.executeScript() as shown below:
let labelHeader = 'I'm mandatory *';
// Passing label element separately as in the real test case, it would be extracted from parent
// enclosing element and need to be able to pass it as a parameter to browser.executeScript().
let label = element(by.css('label'));
browser.executeScript("return window.getComputedStyle(arguments[0], ':after').content",
label)
.then ((suffixData: string) => {
// suffixData comes out to be '" *"', double quotes as part of the string.
// So get rid of the first and last double quote character
suffixData = suffixData.slice(1, suffixData.length - 1);
labelText += suffixData;
expect(labelText).toBe(labelHeader);
});
I am trying to add CSS when clicked on row or column of table, Following is code
private rowClicked(event: Event): void {
event.srcElement.setAttribute("class", "highlighted");
}
But it's not working as accepted. Am I doing in wrong way, Is there any alternate way to add CSS dynamically?
Note-
Is there any way to add CSS using dom element, my table has thousands of data and to create this table, I have used MetaWidget.
The easiest way to your problem is to assign a unique ID to each included element together with employing another variable to hold selected ID. The logic to turn on my-class CSS class will now be based on the selected ID.
Your new HTML template:
<div (click)="rowClicked(1);" [ngClass]="{'my-class': highlightedDiv === 1}">
> I'm a div that gets styled on click
</div>
Your rowClicked function:
highlightedDiv: number;
rowClicked(newValue: number) {
if (this.highlightedDiv === newValue) {
this.highlightedDiv = 0;
}
else {
this.highlightedDiv = newValue;
}
}
A working demo is here.
More can be found here.
You are using MetaWidget, but you are not mentioning what version you are using.
If you want work with Angular2 and MetaWidget, you should have use a compatible version of MetaWidget, which can be found here-
https://github.com/AmitsBizruntime/MetawidetA2
Using this library will be the best solution for you.
Re-
Angular does not work based on DOM, it works based on Component.
If you like to work on DOM, then you should include jQuery in tour angular project from here-
How to use jQuery with Angular2?
But it is not a good practice.
I wonder what the the part ::-webkit-search-decoration do in the CSS selector for input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration?
And why is this causing en DOM Exception error?
function is(selector, element) {
var div = document.createElement("div"),
matchesSelector = div.webkitMatchesSelector;
return typeof selector == "string" ? matchesSelector.call(element, selector) : selector === element;
}
is('input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration', document.body);
It allows you to make search boxes look uniform across multiple browsers. Chrome for instance has default styling for search boxes that does not fit into some designs.
here is a good link on the topic.
http://geek.michaelgrace.org/2011/06/webkit-search-input-styling/
It just makes your search box little bit styled.As it is one of the property for css3 then it will not work on every browser.
Have a look in this link

I'd like to attach images to specific words but cannot find the right CSS selector to do so.
I have a portion of my site which displays data as it's pulled from a database, so adding classes or id's to certain words is not an option for me. I need the css to simply display a background image wherever that word (or in this case, name) is found on the page.
For example, in the following (which is pulled from a database):
<td class="data1"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Patrick</font></td>
I would like to add a background image where the name Patrick is found.
I tried variations of,
td[.table1 *='Parick'] {
background-image:url(../images/accept.png);
but that didn't get me anywhere. And since it's not in a <span> or <div> or even a link, I can't figure it out. If you have any ideas or a jQuery workaround, please let me know. Thanks!
If you can guarantee the names only appear as the only text nodes in elements, you can use a simple jQuery selector...
$(':contains("Patrick")').addClass('name');
jsFiddle.
If there may be surrounding whitespace and/or the search should be case insensitive, try...
$('*').filter(function() {
return $.trim($(this).text()).toLowerCase() == 'patrick';
}).addClass('name');
jsFiddle.
If you need to find the name anywhere in any text node and then you need to wrap it with an element, try...
$('*').contents().filter(function() {
return this.nodeType == 3;
}).each(function() {
var node = this;
this.data.replace(/\bPatrick\b/i, function(all, offset) {
var chunk = node.splitText(offset);
chunk.data = chunk.data.substr(all.length);
var span = $('<span />', {
'class': 'name',
text: all
});
$(node).after(span);
});
});
jsFiddle.
I would recommend using the third example.
