I am struggling with this. I have a fully tested python script. I have to make a small change wherein I have to first click on a radio button which in turn automatically executes a javascript function forwarding the page to a search form.
My working platform : Linux
Language : Python
Radio button code :
<input type="radio" language="javascript" onclick="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'_ctl0$Main$SearchRadio\',\'\')', 0)" value="SearchRadio" name="_ctl0:Main:SearchRadio" id="_ctl0_Main_SearchRadio">
Javascript code on the page :
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.aspnetForm;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit();
}
}
// -->
</script>
This is what selenium does. Not sure if it helps at all.
def test_untitled(self):
sel = self.selenium
sel.open("/Search/results.aspx")
sel.click("_ctl0_Main_SearchRadio")
sel.wait_for_page_to_load("30000")
sel.type("-InputTextField", "ThinkCode")
sel.click("_SearchMainUser")
sel.wait_for_page_to_load("30000")
try: self.failUnless(sel.is_text_present("ThinkCode"))
except AssertionError, e: self.verificationErrors.append(str(e))
All I am trying to do is go to the resulting page that we are redirected to once we click the radio button. I read about javascript horrors in python web-scraping using urllib2. Hope a kind pythonista will help me soon :)
