I try to use Click Element id=elementid in Robotframework.I have Selenium2 Library.I have a Menu collapsible.See little arrow on Entity 1 on first print screen.I try to identify the element id.I cannot see element id when I inspect this.I see only jotid that I do not think is the same.So, I am not able to use click element in order to expand my menu.I appreciate anyone's help as I am still learner.Please see also the images of a) Code, Menu, Inspected Element
You can also find it using xpath, so:
Click Element | //li[#wuid="gx:309..."]
jotid is not id, so you cannot locate it by id.
You could try keyword:
Click Link ENTITY 1 -Introduction
or find it by css:
Click element css=a[jotid='wuid:gx:4286...<the rest of it>']

I am lost with getting a trigger to fire for all menu items on my site. As there is no Class element given I try to do the check with the Click Element field (. But any part of it I try I get a mismatch in GTM preview mode.
Can anyone tell me what would be valid CSS selector for that trigger?
Click Element for menu item "Kontakt" is
https://www.deutschland-greeter.de/kontakt/: html.js > body.home.page-template-default.page.page-id-39.et_pb_button_helper_class.et_fixed_nav.et_show_nav.et_primary_nav_dropdown_animation_fade.et_secondary_nav_dropdown_animation_fade.et_header_style_left.et_pb_footer_columns1.et_cover_background.et_pb_gutter.windows.et_pb_gutters3.et_pb_pagebuilder_layout.et_no_sidebar.et_divi_theme.et-db.chrome > div.et-animated-content#page-container > header.et-fixed-header#main-header > div.container.clearfix.et_menu_container > div#et-top-navigation > div#et_mobile_nav_menu > div.mobile_nav.closed > ul.et_mobile_menu#mobile_menu > li.testclass.menu-item.menu-item-type-post_type.menu-item-object-page.menu-item-1094#menu-item-1094 > a
One of the matches I tried is div.container.clearfix.et_menu_container
Thanks a lot!

This will work for both desktop and mobile Kontakt in the main menu:
li#menu-item-1094>a[href="https://www.deutschland-greeter.de/kontakt/"]
If you want to have it for every a on the page that leads to /kontakt/ (like what you have in the footer), use this:
a[href="https://www.deutschland-greeter.de/kontakt/"]
I would go with the first option.
Here's a variant that will catch all top menu clicks for desktop:
ul#top-menu>li>a
Keep in mind that using CSS selectors for tracking (also referred to as DOM scraping) is ultimately not reliable since front-end devs won't keep your tracking in mind when they update the site.
i would like to use the Chrome-console to click on a button.
So far I always used the Id, like:
$('[id="vcc-eu5"]').click();
or Title
$('[title="Delete this view and its saved rules"]').click();
of the button, but here, I can not find anything like that.
If I inspect the button I can see this:
<a class="wds-button wds-button--primary wds-button--sm apply-btn ">APPLY</a>
Is there a way trigger this button somehow? Where can I read about it?
The currently selected element in the Chrome DevTools is always available as $0.
So, you can just select it and the do $($0).click()
Or you can use a unique combination of its classes:
$('a.wds-button.wds-button--primary.apply-btn').click()
When I'm trying to select any one of the options from a drop down "Birthday" on Google account creation page using .xpath, I found the xpath as follows:
.//*[#id=':a'] but it was not selecting the desired option the drop down. But, when I added /div at the end of the same xpath i.e .//*[#id=':a']/div it worked.
Can anyone explain why I should add /div at the end?
It was happened because your proper Element is //*[#id=':a']/div not just //*[#id=':a']

I am using Robot Framework with Selenium2Library for website tests automation. My HTML Value is
<select class="autoWidth m![Element Locator Error][1]inWidth" id="ctl00_ResultPanePlaceHolder_ctl00_ctl02_ctl01_contentContainer_ddlLanguage" name="ctl00$ResultPanePlaceHolder$ctl00$ctl02$ctl01$contentContainer$ddlLanguage">
<option value=![enter image description here][2]"1118">አማርኛ (ኢትዮጵያ)</option>
I am using cmd
Click Element id=ctl00_ResultPanePlaceHolder_ctl00_ctl02_ctl01_contentContainer_ddlLanguage
I am getting
value error: Element locator did not match any element.
How to fix this issue.
Most likely your element is inside an iframe. Look through the html to see if you see <iframe ...> before the element you are trying to click. If so, you first need to use Select Frame before trying to click on the element.
You should need to use id= as ID is one of the default attributes it looks for. Is it possible to see some more of the html code surrounding the element you are after?
Web page contain a button with some text for example "Test". This button actually is a toolbar element. (class ="tbButton" id="id",text="Test") and redirects to a certain table when press on it.
When I tried to use the following click methods, the button did not react.
browser.div("Test").click();
browser.click("id");
browser.click("");
browser.div("id").click();
browser.byId("id").click();
browser.containsText(browser.byId("id"),"Test");
browser.div("Test").in(browser.table("Generar")).click();
browser.byXPath("//div/Test").click();
Could anybody suggest me an alternative methods that is able to resolve the above problem?
Try with:
browser.xy(browser.div("Test"), 10, 10).click();
This will click a little inside the div.
