My grease monkey script is the following:
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML = "<b>asdfdsfa</b>";
alert( document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML );
When I run the script, the alert says:
<html>b<asdfdsfa</b<
And the text that I see is
<html><b>asdfsda</b>
Does anyone know what I have to do to have the correct stuff displayed (ie. bolded "asdfsda")
Thanks
What is the doctype of the page you are changing?
Also, have you looked at DOM methods?
e.g. document.createElement('B');
You have to type .textContent instead of .innerHTML if you don't want to view the ascii code :) have a nice time!

Very basic question but I can't figure it out.
How do I test for the existence of a piece of text on a page?
e.g. does the word "mouse" exist on this page? I'm using playwright and node.js
Thanks!
You can do that via page.waitForSelector(). Example:
await page.waitForSelector('text=mouse')
See on playwright.dev for the full documentation and how you can use the text selectors in other scenarios.
I have been trying to automate my work and we use service-now for our requests. However, for the the life of me I can not get Selenium to run properly on the service-now website. It works on the login page before entering, but no matter what form of locater or x path I use it will not work. The website is dynamic so I am pretty sure xpath is needed.
I have tried directly from Google Chrome inspect as well as other xpath possibilities:
//*[#id="row_sc_request.sc_task.request_65091fb5db8163c4bc8f18df4b961921"]/td[3]/a
xpath=//a[starts-with(text(),'Open record: SCTA')]
xpath=//a[class="linked formlink" and starts-with(#aria-label='Open record: SCTA')]
This is the element copied from chrome
<a class="linked formlink" aria-label="Open record: SCTASK0067185" href="sc\\\_task.do?sys\\\_id=65091fb5db8163c4bc8f18df4b961921\\\&sysparm\\\_record\\\_target=sc\\\_task\\\&sysparm\\\_record\\\_row=1\\\&sysparm\\\_record\\\_rows=1\\\&sysparm\\\_record\\\_list=request%3D9509dbb5db8163c4bc8f18df4b96199f%5EORDERBYDESCnumber">SCTASK0067185</a>
Can someone please review my code? Any help would be appreciated!
I will suggest going with absolute XPath, I guess below note can help
Note:- if you copy XPath from Firefox it will mostly give you absolute XPath whereas chrome on another side will give relative
or the other way is to make an XPath using another stable element in the DOM tree
I hope this workout for yours. if you can share a link or inspect element snapshot showing Full DOM I can help you even better. Thanks :-)
There is a syntax error in the second xpath, this one - xpath=//a[class="linked formlink" and starts-with(aria-label='SCTA')].
In xpath the attributes must be prefixed with the "#" char; and starts-with() takes two arguments, not a boolean. So it must be:
xpath=//a[#class="linked formlink" and starts-with(#aria-label, "SCTA" )]
I don't know for sure will that make it match (it should, based on the sample), but will get you closer.
Thank you for all your answers. It turns out all I needed to do was switch the IFrame.
I am fairly new to this so I had no idea.
In my situatuion, I had to write:
"browser.switch_to.frame(browser.find_element_by_name('gsft_main'))"
where gsft_main is the name of the frame.
After doing this, then I was able to use:
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#class='linked formlink' and starts-with(#aria-label, 'Open record: SCTA' )]")
and it worked out.
A solution might be to switch from an absolute xpath (the one that you find in the browser's developer tools: Copy->Copy XPath) to a relative one. For that you can install an extension like SelectorsHub and look for 'Rel XPath'
In one particular example I discovered that the absolute xpath simply did not work.
I'm writing a VBA code to login into a webpage and load some information i have in an excel worksheet.
I'm new in Selenium. I already got the login part right, but now i need to click in an element and i keep getting errors.
I need to click in the Company 2 button.
This is what i've got so far:
bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[#value=""Company 1""]").Click
Outputs NoSuchElementError
bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[#value=""Company 2""]").Click
Outputs ElementNotVisible
I don't know what i'm doing wrong, i think that the first input being hidden has something to do. Hope anyone can help me.
Might help you to know you can also use ByCss in most circumstances, in which case you can use:
bot.FindElementByCss("input[value='Company 1']").Click
That is nice and short.
The CSS selector is input[value='Company 1']. This says find element with input tag having attribute value with value of 'Company 1'.
XPath might be incorrect. Please try the following syntax:
FindElementByXPath("//input[#value='Company 1']")
First of all, use CSS selectors whenever possible. They are much easier to handle.
Now if you are using CSS selectors try to find the second button using something like
input[value="Company 2"]
For more info on this selector, look at https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_attribute_value.asp
You can use any xpath, in first look I found your xpath is incorrect, try this:
//input[#type='button'][#value='Company 2']
//input[#type='button'&& #value='Company 2']
//input[#role='button'][#value='Company 2']
You can also use findelements() to store are all buttons and using if else you can extract the company 2 button
As per the HTML you have shared to invoke click() on the desired elements you can use the following solution:
To click on the element with text as Company 1:
bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[#class='btn_empresa ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all' and #value='Company 1']").Click
To click on the element with text as Company 2:
bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[#class='btn_empresa ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all' and #value='Company 2']").Click
Have you tried right-clicking the HTML in inspect and going to Copy>Copy XPath? That might give you something different. Maybe the buttons are created from Javascript and so the WebDriver can't actually see them?
Or try
Company_1 = bot.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#value='Company 1']")
Company_1.click()
Company_2 = bot.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#value='Company 2']")
Company_2.click()
And change the syntax with the ' ' quotes like someone else mentioned.
I want to add on my site a text who is writing, as in http://www.whoismrrobot.com/
I use the code <Marquee>Text Here</Marquee> but this code only rolls the text.
The effect on your example site is not achieved with the marquee tag, and it can't be done this way. I guess the site is using some combination of JavaScript, CSS and maybe server side scripting.
Generally using the marquee tag is a bad idea, as it is some remnant of the "old times", when format and content both were provided by the html page itself. Even back then the marquee tag wasn't part of the html-specification and not supported by every browser.
For further details see this description of the tag.
is there any chance to render/process a webpage just from the given DOM?
At the moment we can use page.open but just with a url. In my app i've got the DOM from somewhere else so there is no need to get it twice :)
I now that you can set the page content via page.content = "<html></html>" but i'm missing the callback for loaded images, etc.
Any Ideas out there?
Have a look at casperjs' bbcshot.js code sample, it does quite exactly what you're asking for.
