[Wtr-general] Can I access caption attribute of a checkbox?

Mon Jun 19 08:28:30 EDT 2006

Hi,
   I am using latest watir version i.e 1.4.1. 

  When I say  ie.frame(:index,3).checkboxes[1].attribute_value("caption") ,
   it throws exception saying
  "undefined method `attribute_value' for #<Watir::CheckBox:0x2e27498> (NoMethodError)"

   How do I proceed?

  Thanks,
  Amitha

  Hi,

Which watir version are you using? Latest version has a method called 'attribute_value' that you can try that to get the value of 'caption' attribute. So you try the following:

ie.checkboxes[1].attribute_value("caption")

    Sorry thats the javascipt which I had given.
  Checkboxes on this page are generated by a third party tool which uses the following javascripts:
  <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Misc.lib.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Array.class.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Tree.class.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_TreeElement.class.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Checkbox.class.js"></script>

   Is there way to access the html generated this way?I want to get the display name of the checkbox which is present as caption in the view source page as 
  "a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A2;"
I want the text "CHILD_A2"

  View Source of the page looks like this:
  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
  <html>
<head>
<title>CHECK</title>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Misc.lib.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Array.class.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Tree.class.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_TreeElement.class.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/Bs_Checkbox.class.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  function init() {
  myTree = new Bs_Tree(); 
  myTree.imageDir = './images/';
  myTree.useCheckboxSystem      = true;
  myTree.useAutoSequence = false;
  myTree.checkboxSystemWalkTree = 3;
  myTree.initByArray(a);
  myTree.drawInto('treeDiv1');
}

  </script>

   <script type = "text/javascript">

var a = new Array; 
a[0] = new Array; 
a[0]['id'] = '99999'

    a[0]['checkboxName'] ='CNAME_14'
a[0]['caption'] = 'Check Here'  (#This is the data I want to retrieve)

    a[0]['isOpen'] = true 
a[0]['children'] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['id']='51'; 
a[0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A';
a[0]['children'][0]['checkboxName']='VELOZ_51';
a[0]['children'][0]['children'] = new Array; 
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['id']='52'; 
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A1;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['checkboxName']='ID_52'; 
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0] = new Array;
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['id']='54'; 
a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['caption']='CHILD_A2; 
  a[0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['children'][0]['checkboxName']='ID_54'; 
</script>

  <body  onLoad="init();">
  <div style="margin-top:5px;margin-left:5px;" id="treeDiv1"></div>
  </body> 
</html>

  Thanks,
  Amitha

  You have <input type="checkbox" caption="Check Here" />? It is not valid html. Check it for yourself at http://validator.w3.org/.

    Hi,
     Can I access caption attribute of a checkbox?
   I want to retrieve the display name of the checkbox and this data is present in the caption attribute in the html source. The checkboxes are in the form of a tree. 
  HTML Source is:
  var a = new Array; 
  a[0] = new Array; 
a[0]['id'] = '99999'
a[0]['checkboxName'] ='CNAME_14'
a[0]['caption'] = 'Check Here'  (#This is the data I want to retrieve) 

  ie.checkboxes[1].name gives CNAME_14
  but ie.checkboxes[1].caption throws the following exception:
  undefined method `caption' for #<Watir::CheckBox:0x33c6b38> (NoMethodError)

  I want to get the data in caption attribute i.e 'Check Here'. How do I retrieve it?

  Thanks,
  Amitha
