Question

I have to test a dynamic app using the ZK framework and Selenium does not identify the id’s from the different elements, so can’t enter text in the textboxes or select an element in a list (elements from a database)

Whatever I use (xpath or css selector) nothing works, always the same error

Does anyone know how can I fix my problems?

I’m using Selenium IDE 1.9.0

Netbeans IDE 7.1.1

And Firefox 16.0.2

Thanks

The Html code is:

button id="zc_subdossierzulButton_8" class="butt z-button-os" style="border-style: solid;border-width: 1px;border-color: #ED0000;" type="button">Rechercher

And the Java code i tried is:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("zc_subdossierzulButton_8.butt")); 

don’t work

this:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("butt z-button-os")); 

don’t work

and this:

String cssSelector = "[class='butt z-button-os']"; 
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(cssSelector)).clear(); 
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(cssSelector)).sendKeys("c");

Please go through the following documentation and try using different options like

driver.findElement(By.id("coolestWidgetEvah"));
OR
driver.findElements(By.className("cheese"));
OR
driver.findElement(By.tagName("iframe"));
OR
driver.findElement(By.name("cheese"));
OR
driver.findElement(By.linkText("cheese"));
OR
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("cheese"));
OR
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input"));
