Need to get the count of sections within a specific div

[bhag...@gmail.com]

HI All,

I am new to Watir and I need to get the count of sections within a specific DIV. Please see below.

<section id="lsBodyContent">

        <div id="boxContainer" class="lsBoxContainer">

            <section class="lsNewContentStructureBox ng-scope" ng-repeat="contentStructure in contentStructures">

                <p class="ng-binding">Text 1</p>

                <a href="#/scheme/Text 1">

                    <p><img src="assets/img/edit.svg" alt="edit-image" class="lsEditImg"></p>

                </a>

            </section>

<section class="lsNewContentStructureBox ng-scope" ng-repeat="contentStructure in contentStructures">

                <p class="ng-binding">Text 2</p>

                <a href="#/scheme/Text 2">

                    <p><img src="assets/img/edit.svg" alt="edit-image" class="lsEditImg"></p>

                </a>

            </section>

<section class="lsNewContentStructureBox ng-scope" ng-repeat="contentStructure in contentStructures">

                <p class="ng-binding">Text 3</p>

                <a href="#/scheme/Text 3">

                    <p><img src="assets/img/edit.svg" alt="edit-image" class="lsEditImg"></p>

                </a>

            </section>

        </div>

  </section>

I need to get the number of sections within the DIV id "boxContainer"

Thanks,

Bhagya.

That's pretty straightforward:

browser.div(id: 'boxContainer').sections.size

Alex nailed it. Please verify your success or failure.

BTW: A research method I use when I don't know is a quick google
search for example the topic "watir count elements in div" produced a
similar answer

I think one day we will maybe stop doing other peoples work for them. to me this seems like too simple and with no examples of what they tried.

why use your own brain when someone else's is available?

OTOH if we insist on such stuff then we start to become a hostile community.

So usually I like to encourage the searching as a way to get an answer quicker..   Show them why trying a little bit of searching on their own is better for them, which is often getting an answer without having to wait.   (since they don't seem to care what is better for us, if we have real jobs, and feel entitled to instant answers by just asking folks on the web, appealing to self interest seems the most likely route to education )
