How to automate captcha using WebDriver?
Is there any alternate method to automate Captcha using Webdriver?
You can automate CAPTCHA only using display CAPTCHA value in "alt" attribute.
take CAPTCHA image in WebElement
get value of "alt" attribute
pass alt value in text field
CAPTCHA and barcode are not read/test/handle by Selenium WebDriver.
Selenium WebDriver doesn't support CAPTCHA and barcode.
I came across Death By Captcha.
They have good reviews and also provides API to decode image captchas.
It is a paid service.

Is it possible for me to scrape the data from the pop up appears after clicking the link.the website is https://ngodarpan.gov.in/index.php/home/statewise_ngo/61/35
Of course it's possible, it's just a table with pagination.
But you'd better check the legal part before scraping a website, moreover on a governmental one.
Yes, you have to follow exactly what browser does. See network behaviour from your browser.
First, you have to send request to https://ngodarpan.gov.in/index.php/ajaxcontroller/get_csrf in order to get token like this :{"csrf_token":"0d1c59184c7df788dc4b8759f6da40c6"}
After, send another POST request to https://ngodarpan.gov.in/index.php/ajaxcontroller/show_ngo_info. As parameters you have to mention csrf_test_name which which is equals to csrf_token and id which is found from onclick attribute of each link.
You will get JSON as response and just to parse it as you need.
I'm writing an app which involves letting users to share comments on a website, which has a comment form with Google's reCAPTCHA embeded. I would like to load this page via HTTP and display CAPTCHA within my app, so that user can post comments from my app. Is it easy to implement or should I rather try other solution?
EDIT:
I've red reCAPTCHA developer guide. If I would like to embed captcha inside my form, I'd need to insert div element with a proper class, and make a ajax request in order to render captcha. This call would insert an iframe into a given div. What I need is to know how to access that iframe's content without using AJAX.
Turns out we are not supposed to do that kind of tricks with reCAPTCHA.
There is no support for that in API. It seems that it was part of Google's design to prevent that kind of usage.
The only walkaround I could come up with is to implement a WebView widget with JavaScript support, get website via http, and load it into this webview, centering this view around the form we want to post.
It seems like a lot of work though, thus I'm going to simply skip this, if someone successfuly manages to figure it out I'd appreciate a hint :)
I have a requirement where user will have an option to search
the data and should match the feature same as google has provided
i.e. whatever char user types in the search box - user will be prompted with matching string below - same as google search text box - you type something and get the options
what control or strategy we should follow in C# ?
Thanks in advance.
What you are looking for is called "autocomplete". The Ajax Control Toolkit has such a control. You can find it here.
what you are trying to achieve is basically AJAX based Google like "suggest" feature, I would recommend having a look at this : Google like search
Plus there are ample other such links that will help you in your quest.
I am working on screen scraping, its easy when filteration in query string, but the problem in AJAX based filteration,
e.g. here is an sample URL
When you open this page, enter hotel name and click Go, Ajax filter work and show the result accordingly or you click on Next Page, it will shown next record using AJAX based.
please suggest me, how to handle these kind of issues when working in Screen Scraping?
Thank alot
You may want to try 2 Firefox add-ons. They are "Firebug" and "Tamper Data".
The "Console" window of Firebug shows the AJAX request and response.
You can then write scripts using the PHP/cURL library to mimic the request.
Do a http request as you normally do for any link or form sumbit but use the url used with ajax. Sometimes you may need to read the javascript source to determine how the url is built.
I've been checking out facebook connect stuff from the new actionscript 3 library from Adobe. I have been trying to figure out how to use the facebook connect button inside of a flex app.
In an html page you would us the fbml and it would automatically put the facebook connect button on your page and when the user clicks on it it pops up the face div and lets the user login. Well you can't use that in flex. So I could put it on the page containing the swf but, that's why I'm using flex and not html. I've seen it done by the guys at Universal Mind so I know it's possible. I just need a little direction.
I know the function to use in the facebook connect api to cause that login dialog to come up I just can't figure the correct combination.
Chcek out the Create your first Facebook application with Flex tutorial and in particular the section on Add Facebook login.
This should be applicable to Flex. This would be done using the ExternalInterface calls from within Flash.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
In Adobe facebook-actionscript-api there is a class LoginWindow which you can use.
When you need it this window will open like small flash popup window and it will display facebook login page and enable user to login. All needed events will be raised and you should be connected after that. I didn't tested it but from the code looks like what you need.
this developer created this js/flash bridge you are talking about using the ExternalInterface classes. you can download all source files as well. i found it very useful.
http://www.wellconsidered.be/blog/2009/01/04/facebook-connect-to-actionscript-3/
There is also a very clean and elegant solution/tutorial at:
http://www.stevenvh.be/blog/?p=57
Use this API:
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/
Look at ConnectDemo.
The sample kind of sucks... it forces you to connect before showing the Flex app.
You need to tweek the example to get it to do what you want.
Also, FB depreciated some of the methods, so you have to look up new methods that aren't depreciated.
I'd love to update the sample, but I don't have the time to dedicated to another project.
