Is there any plan to allow access to text nodes in the DOM? For
example, I want to get a 'WebNode' type interface to the "free text"
in the document below.
<body>
<div>
<a>link</a>
free text
<a>other link</a>
</div>
</body>
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
There is currently no plan to give this level of access to the DOM
through the webdriver interfaces. What are you trying to do? Could you
get the content of the div and call "getText" on that, checking to see
whether an expected string is present within the returned value?
Regards,
Simon

Hey Simon, I am trying to determine whether or not an element contains text which will rendered outside of other elements (like links). Since the enclosing div's getText() will contain both the text from the links as well as the regular text, it would be a kludge to get the text from the parent and then subtract the text of children elements to see what is remaining.
I can do it in javascript, though its obviously slower.

I would like to use webdriver with qooxdoo.sf.net, testing would be a
lot easier if we could access the DOM for this. See
http://wiki.seleniumhq.org/display/SEL/qooxdooExtension

Hi Mirko,
We offer some basic DOM navigation functions within WebDriver as it
stands: just call "findElement" or "findElements" on an existing
WebElement to access nodes underneath it. We currently only model
actual element objects because this is what people interact with when
using the browser. One of the design goals of WebDriver is to follow
as closely as possible what a user would do when interacting with the
browser.
The interesting tension in developing a framework like WebDriver (and,
I assume Qooxdoo) is between what's technically possible, and which
features hit the sweet-spot between complexity (either of usage or
implemenation) and capability. "Access to the DOM' is already there,
to some extent, but I'd love to hear what feature is missing and how
it can help our users do their testing. Your thoughts and suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Simon
