I have this code
<label>
<input type="radio" checked="checked" value="fOejPdlZIx83HA" name="btnRad">
Test1
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" checked="checked" value="fdsaf4waff4sssd" name="btnRad">
Test2
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" checked="checked" value="fg43fasd43wsat4" name="btnRad">
Test3
</label>
I wish to access the radio button depending on the label text via xpath
I already tried multiple thing:
//input[#name='btnRad]']/following::*[contains(text(),'Test3')]
//label[text()='Test3']/input[#name='btnRad']
//*[contains(text(),'Test3')]
Even the last one return me nothing, so xpath think that "Test3" is not the text of the label... anyone have an idea how to do this?
Your expression is failing because your label has more that one text node: an empty string before the input, and Test3. The way you're using contains means it will only check the first text node, ie empty string.
Two ways of solving this:
eliminating the empty strings with normalize-space():
//*[contains(text()[normalize-space()], 'Test3')]
querying each text():
//*[text()[contains(.,'Test3')]]
For a more detailed explanation, see How to search for content in XPath in multiline text using Python?.
This works also //label[contains(.,'Test3')]/input .

How can I use the aria-attribute aria-labelledby for combo box (input+autocomplete list) correctly?
According to the W3C, the aria-labelledby property provides the user with a recognizable name of the object.
I've found the following example on W3C:
<div class="combobox-wrapper">
<div>
<input type="text"
aria-labelledby="ex1-label">
</div>
<ul aria-labelledby="ex1-label"></ul>
</div>
But I've noticed that aria-labelledby isn't descriptive. Values in aria-labelledby for different element are used the same.
Maybe I can use aria-labelledby like this:
<div class="combobox-wrapper">
<div>
<input type="text"
aria-labelledby="textBox">
</div>
<ul aria-labelledby="autocomplete-list"></ul>
</div>
The WAI ARIA attribute aria-labelledby is used when you can't use the normal <input> + <label> combination to label a form element, e.g. because you are using a custom form element. In other words, it is used in situations where you can't use the <label>'s for attribute to define a label for the input (e.g.
<input id="communitymode" name="communitymode" type="checkbox"> <label for="communitymode">communiti wiki</label>; note that the for attribute's value refers to the input's id attribute.)
With aria-labelledby, your reference works in the opposite direction as the for attibute: you tell the browser or the screen reader where to find the "label" for the form control it has just encountered.
<div class="combobox-wrapper">
<div>
<span id="combolabel">Select your country:</span>
<input type="text"
aria-labelledby="combolabel">
</div>
<ul aria-labelledby="combolabel"></ul>
</div>
In the above code sample, both the <input> element and the <ul> element are labelled by the <span> element with id "combolabel".
Remember the first rule of ARIA is don't use ARIA when native HTML elements exist. If you are trying to create an accessible autocomplete box try this:
http://wet-boew.github.io/v4.0-ci/demos/datalist/datalist-en.html
It does not use ARIA and follows all applicable W3C rules and guidelines.
I have a form that spans multiple tabs in a TabStrip control. However, when the form is validated (e.g. f.valid), not all controls are considered when the validation is evaluated.
For example, if an input field is on tab 1 that is marked as "required" and the save action is called when the focus is on tab #3, the form will read as invalid since the required field is not in view. If the focus is on Tab #1, all works as expected.
I understand why this behavior is occurring, but I wanted to see if there was any suggested workaround.
Thanks!
Update
I created a plunkr that shows the basic issue. It is actually a little backwards from the problem I described, but it shows how the form ignores the fields on tabs other than the one displayed during validation: Plunkr Example
The template code looks like this:
<form #f="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="save(f)">
<kendo-tabstrip>
<kendo-tabstrip-tab [title]="'Paris'" [selected]="true">
<ng-template kendoTabContent>
<input type="text" name="controlOne" id="controlOne" [(ngModel)]="myModel.controlOne" required>
</ng-template>
</kendo-tabstrip-tab>
<kendo-tabstrip-tab [title]="'New York City'">
<ng-template kendoTabContent>
<input type="text" name="controlTwo" id="controlTwo" [(ngModel)]="myModel.controlTwo">
</ng-template>
</kendo-tabstrip-tab>
<kendo-tabstrip-tab [title]="'Tallinn'">
<ng-template kendoTabContent>
<input type="text" name="controlThree" id="controlThree" [(ngModel)]="myModel.controlThree">
</ng-template>
</kendo-tabstrip-tab>
</kendo-tabstrip>
<button type="submit">Save changes</button>
</form>
<div>
Valid when saving: {{ isValid }}
</div>
I'm faced with a span element for text input instead of an input box, and I'm struggling to use Watir (Ruby) to enter text. There's no set method, there is a text method that returns the text fine, but I don't seem to be able to set the text that way.
I've also tried using span.select and span.focus and then browser.send_keys but nothing is input in the field.
<div class="UFIAddCommentInput _1osb _5yk1">
<div class="_5yk2" tabindex="-2">
<div class="_5rp7">
<div class="_1p1t">
<div class="_1p1v">
Write a reply...
</div>
</div>
<div class="_5rpb">
<div aria-autocomplete="list" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="false" aria-owns="js_3i" class="_5rpu" contenteditable="true" data-testid="ufi_reply_composer" role="combobox" spellcheck="true" title="Write a reply..." id="js_3j">
<div data-contents="true">
<div data-block="true" data-offset-key="8c176-0-0" class="_45m_ _2vxa">
<span data-offset-key="8c176-0-0">
<br data-text="true">
</br>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
What could I try next? Is there a way to stop front end designers using non-standard elements?
You can use javascript to do this. The difficulty for me was to handle the nested quotes.
Two pieces of knowledge I had to figure out first before being able to do this w/ regards to nested strings:
a.) regarding how javascript handles nested quotes: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_strings.asp
b.) on how to deal with nested quotes in ruby: Escaping single and double qoutes from a string in ruby (the %Q operator lets you set whatever you want to begin and end a string)
css_selector = "span[data-offset-key='8c176-0-0']"
b.execute_script(%Q|query="#{css_selector}"|)
b.execute_script("document.querySelector(query).innerHTML='that was tricky'")
Looks like the ability to inject JavaScript using procedures such as this enables you to be able to do just about anything Watir can't do otherwise. Good question, this was a learning experience for me too
In PHPStorm, when creating a snippet, you can do something like this:
<!-- $VALUE$ Form Input -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="$NAME$" class="form-control">
</div>
With variables and such, so you can easily write a value. I'm wondering how to do the same thing with Sublime Text 3. This is what I have in my CDATA tag:
<!-- $VALUE Form Input -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="$NAME" class="form-control">
</div>
However, it's not working.
Unfortunately, the only variables that are available in snippets are specified in the docs under snippets environment-variables, as well as any you declare in a .tmPreferences metadata file, or in a .sublime-options file. However, you can have predefined values in snippets. For example, this snippet:
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[<!-- ${1:VALUE} Form Input -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="${2:NAME}" class="form-control">
</div>$0]]></content>
<tabTrigger>form_group</tabTrigger>
<scope>text.html</scope>
</snippet>
gives this result when triggered:
You can then hit Tab and the focus will move from field 1 to field 2:
and again to move to the exit point $0:
following code:
<label>
<input class="class1" type="checkbox" checked="checked"/>
First text
</label>
<label>
<input class="class2" type="checkbox" checked="checked"/>
Second text
</label>
<label>
<input class="class3" type="checkbox" checked="checked"/>
Third text
</label>
What I want to do is to get specific label element by containing text. I was trying:
//label[text()='First text']
and
//label[contains(text(),'First text')]
but it doesnt work.
Please, advise!
Thanks! :)
//label[text()[contains(., 'First text')]]
Your attempt
//label[contains(text(),'First text')]
does not work because the <label> in
<label>[
]<input class="class1" type="checkbox" checked="checked"/>[
First text
]</label>
has two text nodes: an empty one containing nothing but a line break, right before the input, and a non-empty one after the <input>. I've outlined them with square brackets above.
A call like contains(node-set, string) forces a conversion of the first argument to contains to string.
Converting a node-set to string gives you the text content of the first node of the set. (Try it out, string(label) will give you 'First text' with a bunch of whitespace, no matter how many labels there are.)
And in your case, that's the empty text node, so contains(text(),'First text') will never succeed.
Therefore you must test the text nodes individually, and that's done by nesting predicates like shown above.
