Hi,

 

By combining of For loop and If condition, we can achive that

 

for(int i=1; selenium.isElementPresent("//tr["+i+"]");i++)   //Verifying whether row is available or not

{

   if (selenium.getText("//tr["+i+"]/td[3]/span"),equals("888810002"))   //To get the text from the third column

    {

       selenium.check("//tr["+i+"]/td/input");

       break;

    }

}

 

Regards,

Saravanan,

I would personally not advise anyone to use any methods within DefaultSelenium [ selenium.isElementPresent(), selenium.getText(), selenium.check() methods ] because DefaultSelenium which belongs to Selenium1 has been deprecated long back and WebDriver is the way to go !

so I would replace selenium.isElementPresent() with webdriver.findElements(By.xpath("")).isEmpty() == false

selenium.getText() with webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("")).getText()

and selenium.check() with new Select(webDriver.findElement(By.xpath(""))).selectByXXXX(value);

Thanks & Regards

I think this will be right xpath for this (i don't test it):
//tr/td/span[text()='888810002']/../..//input[@type='checkbox']

so you can check (change status) checkbox by command:

driver.findElementByXPath("//tr/td/span[text()='888810002']/../..//input[@type='checkbox']").click();

i see the whitespace's in string so mayby you shoud use contains() xpath method:
//tr/td/span[contains(.,'10002')]/../..//input[@type='checkbox']

above method's are column undepend so you can use the text from 1st and 2nd column.

You haven't told us a lot behind "it doesn't work"! 

So I don't quite know what I should be replying here.

You can do this easily with nested xpath expressions.  We get a reference to the ancestor TR, then find its descendant checkbox.    //tr[.//span[text()='888810002']]//input[@type='checkbox']
