Extract a value

[Gerhard Kreuzer]

Hi,

I used a simple way to extract the text from this WebItem:

I Need the values which were embedded in the 'font' tag, here the value is '(004)' for instance.

I just try FindElement(By.Id("border_currentpage")) and than use elem.Text.

After a Windows 10 update I totally lost connection to my browser, see other post. After installing the new verson of the EdgeDriver, this works for the first page, but on the second page it fails with an unknown error. As far as I can see, the source of the web page didn't change.

Maybe my method worked but is wrong and now it stops working. Can anybody tell me, is this method ok, and if not, how can I get the value correctly.

Thanks for helping.

With best regards

Gerhard

Hi Gerhard! 

If what you are trying to do is to get text from element then try please to get it from <td> element, because the <font> is just the settings of the text and it is probably wrong tag to get innerText from.

I'd recommend you to try use this :

driver.findElementByXpath("//font[@id='border_currentpage']//parent::nobr/.").getText();

Hi,

thanks for the answer, will try.

Unfortunately, after an update I only can use the .Text function once, than the WebDriver crashes .... This happens also when I try to get the text from some simple WebIren.

With best regards

Can you post the stacktrace of the error?

Seems like an odd issue - have you tested with other browsers?
