retrieve background-color attribute

[Jacky Jedsada]

Dear All:

Is there any keyword I could use to retrieve background-color from an element?
I tried

Get Element Attribute   id=table-row@Style
Get Element Attribute   id=table-row@background-color

without luck.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

People in the past have used the style attribute in JavaScript, but that only works for inline style or for computed style, there are cross-browser issues.

I looked and I cannot see any request for this functionality??

The Selenium API exposes functionality to check CSS style in a cross-browser way from a WebElement, but it is not exposed directly in Selenium2Library.

To work around, you can use Execute Javascript to return the WebElement you are interested in and go from there...

Try:

${elem}=    Execute Javascript    return document.getElementById('table-row');

${bg color}=    Call Method    ${elem}    value_of_css_property    background-color

${bg color} should end up as a unicode string with a value like "rgba(238, 238, 238, 1)"

Fantastic solution!

Where can I find out what other methods I am able to call for this object?

Thanks Kevin.
