How to check one field is editable or not?

[Sudhansu Sekhar panda]

Hi All,

How to verify that one field is editable or not??

My approach: I am retrieving the text putting in a String after that i am sending keys to that field to edit the text. And after sending keys i am retrieving the text for that element and comparing the text it should not be changed. It is working fine in FF and but not working in IE.

Approach #2: I can do it by taking  the readonly attribute but there is no "readonly" attribute for that element in HTML.

WebElement some_element = driver.findElement(By.id("id"));

    String readonly = some_element.getAttribute("readonly");

    Assert.assertNotNull(readonly);

Is there any other way to handle this?

Thanks,

Sudhansu

Hi,

Depending on how the field is displayed, you might be able to use the 'disabled' attribute? Something like this:

String readonly = some_element.getAttribute("disabled");

Hope that helps,

Try retrieve value instead of text with approach 1.

Hi,

I hope by seeing HTML code, i can try to help you...

any how, did you tried with isEnabled ? something like

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//element")).isEnabled() == false

let me now, it works or not..

Thank You
