I am trying to add text into a field that already contains text without clearing the existing text. Append the text essentially
The 'input text' keyword clears the field before each iteration so is not a viable solution
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Why don't you simply use Get Text to retrieve what the field contains already, assign it to a variable, then use input text to add whatever you want. i.e
${original_text}= Get Text Input_Field_Locator
Input Text Input_Field_Locator ${original_text}+${append_text}
I recommend to use javascript, by calling Execute Javascript keyword from Selenium2Library as the following:
Execute Javascript $("#inputfield").val($("#inputfield").val() + " some more text");

i have this HTML CODE:
Inside input, there' s a random enter image description herestring, but i can't find the test inside.
I tryed with GetWebElements, GetValue and GetAttribute, but nothing
I want to be able to know exactly which element from a class has been clicked. I enabled the text option in Tag Manager:
But it's still not visible in the click object. But it wouldn't pick it up, since the tag containing the text is nested in the clickable element. Can I add a custom HTML attribute to be able to identify which element has been clicked?
<div class="card-content"> //<---- clickable element
<i aria-hidden="true" class="card-icon material-icons">business</i>
<h3 class="card-title">Company details</h3> //<--- clicked text
</div>
The best way to figure it out is to use the "Preview & Debug":
Activate it
Go to the page where you want to test (you should see now a new box at the bottom)
Click on the element
Check the variables in the debug box. Especially check the click.element data.
My guess is that since there is no "real" text in the div box, just children tags, no text can be discovered.
There are different options to solve it:
add the text as data-attribute to the div and use the click.element data
use a data-layer push event
if you know JS you can use the click.element data in a JS variable and traverse down to the h3
If you are going to keep your code as it is, you could create a custom variable, using Custom JavaScript.
In order to do so you need to first create the custom variable, choosing the Custom JavaScript type:
This code should do the job (I tested id)
function() {
return {{Click Element}}.closest('.card-content').getElementsByClassName('card-title')[0].innerText;
}
The custom variable will return the text inside .card-title.
To test the custom variable, you may create a dumb HTML tag with a console.log script, replacing Inside TXT with the name you gave to your custom variable:
<script>console.log( {{Inside TXT}} )</script>
The trigger should be a Click All Elements.
When previewing this tag, the captured text should appear in your console, as well as in the debugger panel.
Reading again your question, I wonder if you are going to have several .card-title items inside the .card-content. In that case, this custom variable will not work. Let me know what is the case.
Also, the code could be simpler, but I am not really sure on how is it really going to work in your site, so this one seems more reliable, since it works clicking anywhere in the element.
EDIT:
In order to test it, after you click an element, a new "Click" will appear in the left pane (Summary). There, in the Variables tab, you will see the variables captured by the click. The data will be stored under the variable name you gave to the variable.
Realtime database used to add \n, \t, etc but it doesn't seem to be the case for Firestore. this might be something basic I'm missing. Either way, how can I save something like this and get it back with new lines and tabs intact:
value: "test
newline
another line"
currently, I get it back like this:
value: "test newline another line"
From my simple tests, Firestore does preserve new lines and tabs. How are you displaying the value? If it's HTML, wrapping the value in a <p> tag will crush the spacing. If you use a <pre> tag, you should see the spacing.
Pre is not working with firestore seems there is not possible ways for now to save preformatted text in firestore
I have a c#.net web app which has multiple asp:textbox fields. I want to be able to change the background colour or text colour of the text within this boxes but only a specific range so for example the first 200 characters are to be red, the remaining characters should be green.
I am aware you can't control the content of a asp:textbox field but I am using ASPNetSpell to perform inline spell checking on all boxes and this renders the field as a asp:textbox.
Does anyone have any idea how I can achieve this functionality: ability to format partial content within a field and apply a spell checker? I am open to any suggestions.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.

It looks like the ASPNetSpell textbox is rendered as a div so you should be able to format the text using jQuery. Here is a way you can do this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#aspnetspellbutton").bind("click", function(eventData) {
var textfrominputelement = $("#yourinputelementid").text().substr(0, 200);
textfrominputelement.fontcolor("Red");
});
});
Basically, your binding the aspnetspellbutton click event to the jQuery function and then assigning the first 200 characters of text from the aspnetspell textbox and then changing the color of that text to Red.
This is a terse example. Depending on your requirements it could be a little more complicated. Script Junkie is a great resource for jQuery if your new to it.
You need something like a RichTextBox control. Check this out as well, those could be your solution. Good luck!
I have used asp.net ajax html editor and i saved data in database. But now i want to retrieve it and show it in grid view. But when i retrieve that, it also shows those html tags (generated by asp.net ajax editor). So, i want to trim those tags and show plain text in grid view. How do i do that?
Thanks
Go to you db and look, how it is saved. Maybe it is save encoded. If it is not the case, you can use some simple regex to remove all those tags.
<[^<]+?>
This shows you just plain text and removes all Tags
To stripe the html tags from text you can utilize the
RegEx.Replace("str","Pattern","replacementstring "); method which there exist in
System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace
for example
Plain_Body = Regex.Replace(txtBody.Text, #"<[^>]*>", string.Empty);
here i am replacing the html specific characters with String.Empty or "" you can add additional characters if you wish to pattern like #"<[^>]*>" and spaces( ) and Ampersand(&) etc
