Selenium RC and clicking on Panel links!

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to click on the panel links (links in the same page but different panel) in the page using Selenium RC. I'm able to do it by using:

browser.waitForCondition("selenium.isElementPresent(\"id=placeOrderLink\")", "30000")

but I want to make it generic and I tried to use:

String var="placeOrderLink";

browser.waitForCondition("\"selenium.isElementPresent(\\"id="+var+"\\")\"", "30000");

and it doesnt work! I get an error. I'm using Java to code my test suite.

Answer 1

Try this browser.waitForCondition("selenium.isElementPresent(\"id=" + var + "\")", "30000")

Answer 2

BTW: you don't need "id=controlID" when specifying control ID's in locators - control ID locator is the default one, so "controlID" is enough.

Answer 3

thanx bhushan, it worked!! thanx a lot and igor, thnx for u too buddy, i shall keep that in mind!!
