Determine type of input element at run time

[Saturn]

Hi all,

I need to determine type of input element at run time if it's Locator
is known.

e.g.
Suppose I am having id of an element say "id_01" then at run time how
'd I get what type of this element is ?? like text box, select list
etc..

Thanks in advance!

( I am doing this because i want to have a YAML file to keep "Locator"
and it's "value"), so i need to determine it's type so that i could
use .type or .select etc methods to enter data at runtime.

Hi Saturn,

 

u can get type of input element by using following script:

 

@selenium.getvalue(id=id_10@type)

Hi Upendra,
i tried as you have mentioned but couldn't get it. Selenium is
generating syntax error. I am using "selenium-remote-control-1.0-
beta-2".

Could please explain this.
@selenium.getvalue(id=id_10@type)
