clicking on particular link without using qtp function - vbscript

Can anybody help me out clicking on particular static link on webpage without using QTP function?
I tried using WebLink after browse.page.WebLink then operation.

Not sure the reason you don't want to use QTP's click function, but you can try to hit the object at the DOM level with Browser().Page().Link().object.click (which really is the same as the B.P.L.Click method but at a lower level).

In polotly.js, how may I get call a javascript callback called when a slider is changed, and get its current value as argument?

I want to build a web page in plotly.js for plotting a mathematical function depending on some parameters. I want the user to be able to change it using a slider.
For doing this, I need to call my own javascript function (to recalculate the points of the graph), get the current value of the slider and update the graph.
I've looking at the examples in
https://plotly.com/javascript/sliders/
but none of them does what I need, and the documentation
at
https://plotly.com/javascript/reference/layout/sliders/
is not clear at all. It seems that I need to set the "method" property (also "args"). It says
"Sets the Plotly method to be called when the slider value is changed. If the skip method is used, the API slider will function as normal but will perform no API calls and will not bind automatically to state updates. This may be used to create a component interface and attach to slider events manually via JavaScript."
What does it mean?
I already have an application using plotly dash at
https://github.com/pdenapo/normal_bivariada/blob/main/normal_bivariada_interactiva.py
and it is very easy to do using #app.callback. However,
I want to do the same in javascript (since I want to run it on a web server, where I cannot run a python application).
¡Many thanks for any help!

Laravel Dusk how to check if element is visible/clickable?

I have a scenario where I'd like not check IF an element exists and is visible/clickable. If not, script processing continues.
While Laravel Dusk provides $browser->assertVisible($selector) method, this ends up in an exception if the element is not visible. Or $browser->waitFor('.selector'); but this also ends the script processing if element doesn't appear.
Here is the criteria Selenium uses to check for an element being visible is found here: How to force Selenium WebDriver to click on element which is not currently visible?
Apparently Dusk doesn't provide this kind of method. What would be the best way to implement it?
Better late than never I suppose.
isDisplayed() works pretty well (though not if it's covered up by other elements)...
if($browser->driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::cssSelector('#my-selector'))->isDisplayed()) {
// do something
}
if I have overlays covering my elements, I use ->waitUntilMissing(), or in extreme cases I call on $browser->driver->executeScript() and run some jQuery to temporarily manipulate an element that is "in the way".
You can try to find the element and try to retrieve properties of it. If the properties are empty, the element is not visible. E.g.
$hiddenBtn = $browser->element('#show-more');
if($hiddenBtn && $hiddenBtn->getText()){
$browser->click('#show-more');
}
This worked for me.
Without a good idea of what you're trying to accomplish you can always wait until the element is visible:

Closing a popup box in Google Translate

I am new to NUNIT and am stumped on how to close a dialog box.
The site I am experimenting with is Google Translate. Part of the code "clicks" on the "Send Feedback Link".
Below is the function I am using:
public void CloseModalWindow(string className)
{
WebController wPage = new WebController(driver);
wPage.waitUntilExistsByXPath(className);
wPage.waitUntilVisibleByXPath(className);
IWebElement clickButtonXPATH = driver.FindElement(By.XPath(className));
clickButtonXPATH.Click();
}
The basic logic is that I am trying to simulate is to click the "X" on the upper right hand side of the Google Feedback popup that appears.
Please note that:
The web driver is FireFox.
I am sending the XPath value (derived from Google Translate directly using FireBug) /html/body/div[3]/div/span[2].
I've also tried using the CSSSelector method instead of XPATH, sending the value span[class='modal-dialog-title'] into the function.
Nunit will in complete without any errors, but the popup does not close as I am anticipating.
Thank you in advance for your input and insight.
From your XPath I see that the "X" is not a natively clickable element - like <a> or <button> are. I experienced that calling Click() on such elements does not what one expects. Instead you could try using the action builder functionality which will simulate a general mouse or keyboard input. Replace
clickButtonXPATH.Click();
with
new Actions(driver).Click(clickButtonXPATH).Build().Perform();

Triggering Ajax onchange on a select list

I am working on a Drupal project which is using the Editable fields module.
Using that module I'm exposing a dropdown list of text options. It works just great. You click on the list, select an option and the option is updated via Ajax.
My challenge is I'm trying to change the options programmatically via jQuery. Using the following code:
jQuery('select#edit-field-status-0-field-status-und').val(1);
... my browser console area is happy with the code but the Ajax update does not take place.
I tried:
jQuery('select#edit-field-status-0-field-status-und').val(1).change();
Again no errors but the Ajax event still did not execute.
$('#edit-field-status-0-field-status-und').val("1");
will do the trick, as the only reason it wouldn't work would be that you have your select values as strings instead of numbers.
Alternatively the following is more detailed:
$('#edit-field-status-0-field-status-und option').eq(1).prop('selected', true);
Also this is not an 'AJAX' function, it's simply Jquery updating the DOM for the particular element.
The code I was using as recreated below was correct:
jQuery('select#edit-field-status-0-field-status-und').val(1).change();
I found out the reason why it wasn't working was because the ID of the target element changed dynamically.
So when I first inspected and found edit-field-status-0-field-status-und, the same element would change IDs to something like edit-field-status-0-field-status-und--1.
That was throwing things off and gave the impression my code wasn't working.
Thanks to #gts for your input.

Comparing source code

I am a newbie in JSF.I am creating a simple page with a checkbox and a readonly field.When I deploy to weblogic server ,I get what is expected output.
Now I have put autosubmit property on checkbox and partialtrigger propery on the other readonly field.My readonly field changes as expected on changing the state
of checkbox.I was curious to find out what Ajax code has been put in finally rendered page when i declare auto submit property to true.Basically I want to know
what is the html and ajax(javascript) code difference between the case when auto submit property is enabled and disabled.Is there any tool which can compare two source codes?
Thanks in advance.
Being able to see the exact difference in code may be difficult as the associated Javascript files for your JSF component toolkit have probably been minified, however you should at least be able to see the difference in the Javascript event declarations on the generated input element.
A tool like Firebug is the best choice as it gives you the ability to highlight DOM elements and view their corresponding styles, attributes, and events. It doubles as an excellent Javascript debugger as well, allowing you to place breakpoints in JS code so that you can walk through the execution of what is happening on each click event.
When autoSubmit is false, there is likely no Javascript event being triggered. When it is true however, there is likely an onclick event being triggered that is formulating an Ajax request. You might have a hard time figuring out what is happening because it is minified, however it is more than likely making such a call.
