How to perform click event on an element present in the anchor tag? - watin

Question

<div class="buttonClear_bottomRight">
<div class="buttonBlueOnWhite">
<a onclick="$find('{0}').close(true); callPostBackFromAlert();" href="#">Ok</a><div
class='rightImg'>
</div>
</div>
</div>
In the above code i wanted to click on Ok button present in the anchor tag.But an id is not generated because of which i cannot directly perform a click action. I tried a work around mentioned below.
IElementContainer elm_container = (IElementContainer)pw.Element(Find.ByClass(classname));
foreach (Element element in elm_container.Elements)
{
if (element.TagName.ToString().ToUpper() == "A")
{
element.Click();
}
}
But here elm_container returns null for intial instances due to which we cannot traverse through it. Is there any other easy method to do it ?

Answer 1

Try this...
Div div = browser.Div(Find.ByClass("buttonClear_bottomRight")).Div(Find.ByClass("buttonBlueOnWhite"));
Debug.Assert(div.Exists);
Link link = div.Link(lnk => lnk.GetAttributeValue("onclick").ToLower().Contains(".close(true)"));
Debug.Assert(link.Exists);
link.Click();
Hope it helps!

You can simply Click on the link by finding its text
var OkButton = Browser.Link(Find.ByText("Ok"));
if(!OkButton.Exists)
{
\\Log error here
}
OkButton.Click();
Browser.WaitForCompplete();
Or you can find the div containing the link like,
var ContainerDiv = Browser.Div(Find.ByClass("buttonBlueOnWhite"));
if(!ContainerDiv.Exists)
{
\\Log error here
}
ContainerDiv.Links.First().Click();
Browser.WaitForComplete();
