How to verify disabled text?

[Jon]

All,

I am trying to test that when a tickbox is selected javascript
populates a disabled textbox.

Selenium doesn't seem to be able to read the data in the disabled
textbox.

Is there a way in which I can make Selenium read this data?

Ta

Jon,

You can get the value with the storeAttribute Selenium IDE function.
GetAttribute for Selenium RC function. See,
http://www.hexbytes.com/category/automation/selenium/selenium-ide/storeattribute/
for the example.

Thanks

Yes we can verify weather a button is disabled with this command

<tr>
    <td>verifyAttribute</td>
    <td>//input[@name='apply']@disabled</td>
    <td>disabled</td>
</tr>

or

<tr>
    <td>verifyAttribute</td>
    <td>//input[@name='apply']@disabled</td>
    <td>true</td>
</tr>

<input type="submit" disabled="disabled" value="Apply" name="apply" class="textbutton">



 But if this button is enabled you wont get the attribute disabled

<input type="submit" value="Apply" name="apply" class="textbutton">

Hi Niraj,

Thanks for your reply.

But there is another way to disabled the button/link is used the Javascript.So the cannot find the disabled attribute in input.

Do you know how to verify this?

Thanks!

Bindu,

I had the same problem as Jon, but couldn't use the solution you
provided, and I think it's for the same reason as Jon.
I'm not an XPath expert by any stretch, but it seems that Selenium's
XPath searches, or perhaps just Selenium's *Attribute functions (e.g.
storeAttribute), are treating the page "as delivered".

In this case, the DOM is altered by JavaScript after the page is
rendered.

I couldn't quite work out how to get the DOM locator to work, and
wasn't confident it would work any better than the XPath locator.
We ended up solving this with a JavaScript solution.

Here's how we did it. The checkbox chkPopulate fills text input
txtValue when checked, but is unchecked when the page loads.

<tr>
<td>assertEval</td>
<td>window.document.getElementById("txtValue").value</td>
<td></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>chkPopulate</td>
<td></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>assertEval</td>
<td>window.document.getElementById("txtValue").value</td>
<td>*My Test Data*</td>
</tr>


Hope this helps Jon, and anyone else who stumbles upon it.

Hi Jon,
As per my understanding you want to get data from disabled text box.
following code should worked for that.

selenium.getValue("xpath=id('textboxID')");


Thanks,
Abhijit

Hi,
You can use method selenium.isEditable(elemnetLocator) to check
whether button is disabled.
If result of this method is false then element is disabled.

Although you cannot use this method for links. I tried to use it for
links but selenium gave error as element is not input element .

Thanks,
Abhijit
