I have never had to verify tab order using Selenium.

Using modifier key like the SHIFT key requires Selenium to be using native events. I was not able to get this test to pass on FF using 2.21, but newer versions of Selenium should work. It does work in IE8.

Send Shift Tab To Current Element is begging to be implemented in Python, but I wanted to give you something easy to try out.

Good Luck,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.
I run your code.But your code move towards the sign in button not on the username field, i mean to say that it work as tab key not the shift+tab key.

PLEASE SUGGEST ME.

[Kevin O.]

That happened for me too because Firefox was not using native events. To get FF to use native events, you have to use a version of Se & FF that supports it. By default it is always disabled on Linux.

If you want to try and force native events, I think you can set desired_capabilities=enable.native.events:true in Open Browser.

Since I think it was not running with native events, the request to press the shift button was just ignored.
I do not know much about Firefox as I test in IE mostly.

Good Luck

Hello,


 i am using this code

function RestrictSpace(e, t) {

             try {

                 if (window.event) {

                     var charCode = window.event.keyCode;

                 }

                 else if (e) {

                     var charCode = e.which;

                 }

                 else { return true; }

                 if ((charCode > 64 && charCode < 91) || (charCode > 96 && charCode < 123) || (charCode == 08) )

                     return true;

                 else

                     return false;

             }

             catch (err) {

                 alert(err.Description);

             }

         }


now i want to allow TAB key, ASCII 09 is not working here.


plz chk that....

All,

When I tried:

Press Key \\09

I got error: Keyword 'Selenium2Library.Press Key' expected 2 arguments, got 1.

What do I need to put in the second column (first argument)?

Press Key 'first argument?' \\09

Thanks,

[Tatu Aalto]

Ugh

Because you need to specify a locator, as it is stated in the documentation [1].

Thanks Tatu!

I am trying to select an item from the dropdown menu that is not visible, so I am trying to use tab key to get to the item. Is that possible? Or I have to use the item that is currently visible on the menu until the item I want visible, then use that item's value?

By the way, using Firefox inspect element and Firebug, below are the values that I got. Do I assign a variable to one of the value then use it as "locator" in the press key command?

Firefox inspector: copy unique selector

.jspPane > li:nth-child(6) > a:nth-child(1)

xpath

/html/body/div/div[2]/div[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr/td[2]/div/div[21]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/div/ul/li/ul/div/div/div/li[6]/a

css path

html body div#pages div.b1 div#main_content table tbody tr td div#mainbody.r_content div.field_top table tbody tr td div#id_timeout_top_main.select_menu ul li.option_list ul#id_timeout_li.ul_obj div.scrollbar_idle div.jspContainer div.jspPane li a.hovered_item

Many thanks!

Sorry for long delay. I do not know, it all depends. My guess would be that if you are able to do it from keyboard, then you should be also to do it with Selenium2Library too.

In theory yes, although those are quite long selectors (but still valid ones). I would first read some general documentation about xpath and css. I personally have found w3schools docs [1] [2]quite useful. Example is also useful to study, the see attachment, it is same test that press tab key on www.google.fi on input field. But test uses different selectors.
