Question

Below is my code

Below is a tag.

    <TR id="oldcontent" bgcolor="#D0D0D0">
    <TD id="ignore" style="vertical-align:middle">      
    <input type="checkbox" name="selectedId" value="22047"onclick="updateSelectionList('<%=campaign.getId()%>')">
    </TD>
   <TD  id="oldcontent">Code</TD>
    <TD ALIGN="left" id="oldcontent">
    <select name="status" style="width=150" id="newcontentformat">
    <option value="14" selected="selected">text1</option>
    <option value="15">text2</option>
    </TD>
<TR>        

Here
1)i need to click the checkbox which has dynamically generated value without any string.
2)Can i select the checkbox based on the text “Code” present in next after checkbox?
3)I need to pick up text2 in the dropdown with name status
4)Lastly the issue is this can appear any where in web page,everytime i run the test case.So i need to check the checkbox using String “code”,2ndly i need to select value from dropdown which has name staus.There are other dropdown boxes with same name status.So how do i specifically do this?

Answer 1

To get the select list in the row that has the text “Code”, you can use the xpath:

//tr[./td[text()='Code']]/td/select

Similarly, for the checkbox, you can use the xpath:

//tr[./td[text()='Code']]/td/input[@type='checkbox']

I believe then the selenium code you want is:

selenium.select("//tr[./td[text()='Code']]/td/select", "text2")
selenium.check("//tr[./td[text()='Code']]/td/input[@type='checkbox']")
