Question

I am trying to test a web page using Selenium IDE. Am new to selenium.

The code is something like this.

<script src="type="text/javascript">
<script src="max.js" type="text/javascript">
<ul class="toolbar">
<li id="addTitle">
<span class="icon-add">Create New Title</span>
</li>
<li></li>
</ul>

When I click on ‘Create New Title’ – Selenium does not record anything. Please let me know if I need to provide any further information.

Thanks!

I have tried ‘View Xpath’.
But ‘View XPath’ shows

id(‘addTitle’)/x:span

Results from https://abc.xyz.com/ui/states/LisitTitles.ddx

But I want to add
https://abc.xyz.com/ui/states//ManageStates.ddx?action=add
which is for Create New Title button

I don’t see https://abc.xyz.com/ui/states//ManageStates.ddx?action=add
anywhere in the page source code or Xpath.

In Page source I see:
document.location = ABC.PM.TITLE.builderURL + “?action=add”;
Also how do I know whether it is Open/Click/etc commands I should be
using? Also does this have something to do with Pagination?
Thanks

You can add this manually by using xPath:

Command   |   click (or clickAndWait)
Target    |   //li[@id='addTitle']/span[@class='icon-add']
Value     |

It will cause clicking an element containing the text ‘Create New Title’, as you see.
