[Sujata Dwivedi]

Hi,

On tab focus go to next element on the web page i want to check id of that element is that possible to find id.
I used following command
${active-element}=Execute Javascript document.activeelementid

I'm not sure what is the question... 

If it's about getting the ID (as in topic), you can get that with that Javascript By:

${active-element}=Execute Javascript window.document.activeElement.id (Execute Javascript keyword is by default executed in Selenium's context).

Thanks for your command
I tried your command but it gives active element as  none.
Starting test: Demo.Gmail.Scripts.Test suite.Login Page.Scenario1.1Login page.testcase1

Executing JavaScript:
window.document.activeElement.id
20130417 20:51:56.972 :  INFO : ${active-element} = None

Actually, I want id/name/attribute of currently focused element, for example when we are in login page
then there are two field one is user name and other is password, so when cursor  is on username field ,press tab ,now cursor goes to password field,
So my question is" how to verify that cursor goes to password field not on other field".

Hi Sujata,

you are missing a return statement in your JavaScript. Try:

    ${activeElementId}=    Execute JavaScript    return window.document.activeElement.id;    

Works at least for me.
Cheers,
Markus

Hello,

I hope someone sees this post.

I got similar code for the same purpose and for some reason does not work with certain elements in the pages such as href:

here is the code robotframework

\ ${activeElementId}=    Execute JavaScript    return document.activeElement.id

this is the html element

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="s_objectID=&quot;javascript:void(0);_1&quot;;return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true"><img src="resources/images/help.png" alt="Help" title="Help"></a>

this is what returns

16:42:32.570

INFO

Executing JavaScript: return document.activeElement.id

16:42:32.582

INFO

${activeElementId} =

thanks
