So, using Selenium, I want to test links on a page and see if they open a new window. They are NOT javascript links, just a basic href "target=_blank".
I want to make sure the newly opened window actually loaded a page.
I can do all the scripting to get the link clicked, but when i test for page Title, I get the page I'm testing on, not the new window that is on top.
How do I target that new window and check to see if THAT page loaded?
thanks
The following worked for me with a form with attribute target="_blank" that sends a POST request on a new window:
// Open the action in a new empty window
selenium.getEval("this.page().findElement(\"//form[#id='myForm']\").target='my_window'");
selenium.getEval("selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().open('', 'my_window')");
//The contents load in the previously opened window
selenium.click("//form[#id='myForm']//input[#value='Submit']");
Thread.sleep(2000);
//Focus in the new window
selenium.selectWindow("my_window");
selenium.windowFocus();
/* .. Do something - i.e.: assertTrue(.........); */
//Close the window and back to the main one
selenium.close();
selenium.selectWindow(null);
selenium.windowFocus();
The html code would be similar to:
<form id="myForm" action="/myAction.do" target="_blank">
<input type="text" name="myText" value="some text"/>
<input type="submit" value="Save"/>
</form>
You've tagged the question RC so I assume it's not Selenium IDE.
You can use something like selenium.selectWindow or selenium.selectPopUp or selenium.windowFocus to target the new window.
A technique I find quite useful is to use Selenium IDE to capture the script and then select Options and then the programming format you require (Java, C# etc.) and then use that snippet as the basis of the RC test.
Based on the name randomization, I guess I can loop through the window names and pick th unknown one.
This works, but not tested fully...
public function testMyTestCase() {
$this->open("/");
$this->click("link=Sign in");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->type("email", "xxx#gmail.com");
$this->type("password", "xxx");
$this->click("login");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->click("link=Resources");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->click("link=exact:http://100pages.org/");
$cc = $this->getAllWindowNames();
foreach($cc as $v ) {
if (strpos($v, "blank")) {
$this->selectWindow($v);
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->assertRegExp("/100/", $this->getTitle());
}
}
}

I have this piece of javascript code
<script language="javascript">
function editRecord(email){
window.open('CompleteProfileDisplay.jsp?email='+email);
f.submit();
}
</script>
My question is how to hide the email value in address bar while calling CompleteProfileDisplay.jsp page through window.open function.One more thing CompleteProfileDisplay.jsp accepting the email value as request.getParameter method.Please help me if anybody is having idea.
The open() method takes a second name parameter which you can use as the target of a post, so you can create a hidden form with a target, open about:blank with a the target name and submit that form.
Or you can have a form that submits to the special '_blank' target which also opens a window. Similarly you programmatically fill and submit the form.
Edit: I said '_new' which is wrong....
You can follow this outline to accomplish your goal:
Create a small form within your HTML, with its action property set to CompleteProfileDisplay.jsp, containing an input field named email, with a target of _blank, and a method of post.
Have your function set the value of the email input field of this form to the given email address and submit the form.
A popup window will open containing the same results as your original request, but the data (email address) will be submitted as a POST request without being visible in the URL.
Like this:
<!-- make sure this form isn't nested with another form in your page -->
<form action="CompleteProfileDisplay.jsp" target="_blank" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="email" id="hiddenemail" />
</form>
<script>
function editRecord(email){
var e = document.getElementById('hiddenemail');
e.value = email;
e.form.submit();
}
</script>
(Your question does not show that you are customizing the popup window's appearance in any way, so I am not considering that in my answer.)
I have a view with a button and a DIV
I am trying to have this kind of functionality:
if the button is clicked - a controller method is executed ( i have the method, db.insert, etc.)
- if test (inside the controller method) is passed the button dissapears and the div appears ( I thought at using ajax - not to refresh the hole page)
whenever the page is refreshed the test has to be made again for the button to be visible or not
thanks
Something like this?
{{=DIV(A('click me',callback=URL('mycallback'),target="me"),_id="me")}}
def mycallback():
# do whatever you need to do
return DIV("I will appear in place of he link when you click")
I looked in more of your examples and I think my problem was simpler ( if there isn't any other solution)
So what I did was I used eval:
button in view :
<input id="b_normal" type="button" value="normal" onClick="ajax('{{=URL('db_test')}}',[],':eval')" />
and the controller method:
def db_test()
#tests and updates
return "jQuery('#b_normal').fadeOut();jQuery('#commDiv').show();"
for further refresh i used jquery, in view:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var flag = '{{=flag_normal}}';
if(flag == 'da')
jQuery('#b_normal').hide();
else jQuery('#commDiv').hide();
});
where *flag_normal* is sent by the main controller
I hope this is not too inefficient and if so, useful
I have a form with two buttons, a submit button and a cancel/close button. When the user clicks submit, the entered data is validated using http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/. If everything validates, the form is submitted with jQuery/AJAX. That all works fine and dandy. I run into problems with the cancel button though. I want the cancel button to require confirmation. If the user chooses to proceed, they are taken to a page of my choosing. If they decide they don't want to cancel, then they are simply left on the page. It's the last part that isn't working.
My form code looks like this:
<form name="createPage" id="createPage" method="post" action="pager.php" class="ajax updateForm">
<input name="whatever" type="text" />
<button type="submit" id="submitQuickSave" class="submitSave"><span>save</span></button>
<button type="submit" id="submitCancel" class="submitClose" onclick='confirm_close()'><span>close</span></button>
</form>
My current cancel script looks like the following. If the user does indeed want to cancel, I unbind the form submit so that validation isn't executed. The form then proceeds to submit and includes cancel as a parameter in the action attribute. I handle the cancellation server side and direct the user to a new page.
function confirm_close()
{
var r=confirm("All changes since your last save operation will be discarded.");
if (r==true)
{
$(".ajax").unbind("submit");
}
else
{
}
}
I cannot figure out what to put in the 'else' argument. What happens is that if the users cancels the cancellation (i.e., return false), then the form still tries to submit. I cannot make it stop. I've tried several things from this site and others without success:
event.stopImmediatePropogation
.abort()
Any ideas? Basically, how can I get the cancel/close button work properly?
Consider separating your JavaScript from your HTML. With this in mind, you could write the handler for your the click event you're trying to intercept like this:
$("button#cancel").click(function($event) {
var r = confirm("All changes since your last save operation will be discarded.");
if (r) {
$(".ajax").unbind("submit");
}
else {
$event.preventDefault();
}
});
You would have to tweak your HTML and add an id attribute to the cancel button:
<button id="cancel" type="submit" value="cancel">Cancel</button>

Hope that helps!
I believe you just
return false;
Let me know if this works.
I am using an iFrame with a form that return some content with an AJAX link.
I am then moving the returned content out of the iFrame into the main page.
However, then the ajax link does not work and the error "Element is null" is created once the link is clicked.
How can I move content from the iFrame and still have the AJAX link working?
Here's the code returned by the iFrame:
<span id="top">
<a id="link8" onclick=" event.returnValue = false; return false;" href="/item_pictures/delete/7">
<img src="/img/delete.bmp"/>
</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.Event.observe('link8', 'click', function(event) {
new Ajax.Updater('top','/item_pictures/delete/3', {
asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,
onCreate:function(request, xhr) {
document.getElementById("top").innerHTML = "<img src=\"/img/spinner_small.gif\">";
},
requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'top']
})
}, false);
</script>
</span>
I see two problems with your code.
First the solution (I think :-))
When your iframe loads, the javascript in it runs. Javascript attaches an observer to parent document's link8.
Inside the observer you define another function (onCreate). This function will run in iframe context, making document object refer to iframe and not to main document. When you remove link8 from iframe to move it to main document, document.getElementById("top") will become null - hence error.
Perhaps change it to:
parent.document.getElementById("top").innerHTML = "<img src=\"/img/spinner_small.gif\">";
Second problem (that is not really a problem in this particular case) is, if you move whole span (including the script) to main document, the javascript will run again in main document's context. In your case, you should see an error or warning after you move the content, stating that parent is null (or similar).
To remove the second problem, return your iframe data in two divs or similar. Then copy only div with html to main document.
What I did was move the AJAX call out to an external js file and called the function once the link was clicked. It works now.
I am using JQuery with Boxy plugin.
When a user clicks on a link on one page, I call Boxy.load to load a form onto the pop-up. The form loads and is displayed inside the pop-up without problems.
However, I can't bind the form to a submit event, since I can't select the form element.
This is the event handler:
$('#flag-link a.unflagged').click (function(e) {
url = $(e.target).attr('href');
Boxy.load(url, {behaviours: function(r) {
alert ($("#flag-form").attr('id'));
}
});
});
The alert reads "undefined" when it is displayed.
And this is the form:
<form id="flag-form" method="POST" action="somepage">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="text" name = "name"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="submit" value="OK"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
What am I doing wrong?
First (a minor point, but a potential source of trouble), it should be id="flag-form" not id = "flag-form" (no spaces).
Second, you shouldn't need r.find(). Just do $("#flag-form").attr("id")
As far as I understand, live() method must be used to bind an element to an event in this case:
$("#flag-form").live("submit", function(){ ... }
Presently, live method is documented to be not supporting the submit event. However, I could work it out with Chrome and FF. On the other hand, I couldn't get it working in IE. A better way for cross-browser compatibility seems to be binding the submit button of the form to the click event.
$("#flag-form-submit").live("click", function(){
I learnt that declaring methods in behaviours: function (e) {} works, in addition to using live() methods.
E.g.:
$('#flag-link a.unflagged').click (function() {
Boxy.load(this.href, {
behaviours: function(r) {
r.find('#flag-form').bind('submit', function() {
// do on submit e.g. ajax calls etc.
});
}
});
return false;
});
Boxy opens the URL (url = $(e.target).attr('href');) in an iframe. So you cannot find the form from the opening page(parent page). Your code to bind the form should be in the child page (ie, the Boxy iframe). You can check the iframe URL using your code, url = $(e.target).attr('href');
