i am using MS asp.net 3.5 chart control (Pyramid) and on the click of the series/datapoint i need to open a URL in a new window, something like javascript window.open.
Now i have tried a hell lot but that doesn't work. I am not able to give javascript to the datapoint.
Secondly i got to know that MapAreaAttributes could be given to Series as mentioned below if a new window needs to be open
series.MapAreaAttributes= "target='_blank'";
But even this doesn't works????
Guide me! Thanks
I had your same problem just now.
Here is the solutions and it works:
Notice in your code that you're using the single quotation ('). It seems that this is not allowed by the chart control or something. Let me give you an example that might help you understand:
Let's assume you have a JavaScript function that opens a window showing some data when the user clicks on a column (point) in your data (series). You can do it like this:
Chart1.Series["MySeries"].Points[0].Url = "javascript:void(0)"; //this is just to tell the browser not follow a URL, since you will control this with your javascript
Chart1.Series["MySeries"].Points[0].MapAreaAttributes = "onclick=\"OpenWindow();\""; //this is to set the onclick attribute to fire your javascript function when the user clicks your column.
In the above example in the second line of code, notice that I have used double quotation instead of single ones. If you wrote it like this :
"onclick=\'OpenWindow();\'";
it will never work! You have to use double quotations...
Also, since I am a C# developer, you have to use the \" code to write double quotations otherwise, you will get compiler error.
I hope this helps!

Without posting pages of C# code and markup, has anyone got a reason why this code
var link = _driver.FindElement(By.Id(field + "Field"));
var id = link.GetAttribute("id");
var text = link.Text;
given this markup
<a id="ForenameField" href="/MyUrl/MyFolder/MyId">3 errors</a>
Assigns an empty string to the text variable, but if I put a breakpoint on the second or third line and inspect the link variable, I can see the inner text of the element against the Text property on the inspector, it reads "3 errors", but the value of text is an empty string. It is not hidden, I can see the text if I add a watch or use quickview, any ideas?
Ok, it's my bad. Using jquery to toggle class on the div that contains the html in the question, meant that although users see the div appearing, the class that hides the div is still in the tag. A bit like this
<div class="hideThis showThis"><!-- my elements /--></div>
This makes it so that Selenium is right not give me a text value. It is strange however that the Visual studio debugger thinks that there should be a value. Visual Studio seems to go with what I can see, but Selenium is more pedantic about the hideThis class being there.
I go with the idea that if you can't see it you can't interact with it, so it is worth looking up the html graph from the element you expect to have a value to see if any class is present which would hide your element.
Feel free to recommend that I delete this rather obvious wisdom.
I know this was posted over a year ago, but I had this exact problem too and came across this thread. I was able to solve it by just waiting for the DOM to load--some elements aren't visible until the DOM is updated. So just putting Thread.Sleep(6000) or whatever after navigating to the page got it to work for me.
We have automated a few test cases using the Ranorex automation framework for a Silverlight web application. These test cases involve clicking buttons in order to invoke certain messages on the screen. In order to grab the button on the screen, we first create an Ranorex button object and then point it to the appropriate element using Ranorexpath. Then, we use the RanorexButton.Click() event to click the button. However, this event is unreliable. It works sometimes and at other times the button is not clicked. When the button is not clicked, we have to run the test case again from the start. What are we doing wrong? If this is a known problem of ranorex, please suggest workarounds.
I was facing the same problem but I am able to resolve the problem by introducing a Validate.Exists(infoObject) just before the click. Please make sure that you pass infoObject of your button or any element in Validate.Exists API.
Example:
Validate.Exists(repo.MyApp.LoginBtnInfo);
var button = repo.MyApp.LoginBtn;
button.Click();
With regards,

I haven't heard about such a problem with Ranorex yet, maybe this is just a timing issue.
You could add a Validate.Exists(yourButton) right before the click, this ensures that the click is performed after the button was successfully loaded.
If it is a WebElement you could also use the PerformClick() method instead of the normal Click() method.
There are also different methods which will ensure that the button is in the visible area and has focus, like the EnsureVisible() or the Focus() method.
You will find the available methods of the used adapter in the online API of Ranorex.
If the Button is not within the area you can see without scrolling, you can use a
var button = repo.Buttons.button1;
button.EnsureVisible();
button.Click();
In this way the button is forced to be watched.
It might as well be an issue with the xpath and element Id-s.
If you have changing element Id-s even when the page is navigated away from and moved back (for example we have this issue with SAP related components) you might need to make a more robust xPath path variable using regular expressions.
Try to find object and parts of the path that do not change (eg. "iFrame id="MainContent"" or "btn id="ID_XXXX_Search_Button"") - ofcourse this will only help if the issue is within this.
Ranorex Regular Expression info can be found here: http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-guide-20/ranorexpath.html#c3294
A quick example of what I'm talking about:
Let's say we have an input field that has a changing ID in it's name:
US_EL.ID_F2B49DB60EE1B68131BD662A21B3432B:V_MAIN._046A-r
And I know that the part in the Id that doesn't change is:
:V_MAIN._046A-r
I can create a path for this searching the element by the ending of the elements' id that doesn't change using regular expression:
/dom[#domain='test.example.com']//iframe[#'identifier']//iframe[#'identifier2']//input[#id**~'^**:V_MAIN._046A-r']
The bold part will specify to search for an input element with an Id that ends with ":V_MAIN._046A-r".
An issue that might arrise from this is if you have elements using partially the same names you might get multiple elements returned for the same path. So it's wise to add a few more certain points to the path (eg. "iframe[#'identifier2']") when this issue arrises.
I am doing a website using asp.net C# and I would like to popup a small window with information as soon as mouse hover a particular word. I know that I have to use jquery but I don't know exactly how to do it.
Any suggestions please?
There are many plugins out there that will help you achieve what you are looking for. However it is also very possible to implement this functionality yourself. I wouldn't be surprised either if some of the plugins you come across also use similar code.
The following is my attempt to demystify tooltip/popup plugin behaviour.
You could wrap the desired word in a <span> element and give it a .hover class.
<div>
This is some text with a <span class="hover">special</span>
word that has hovercraft capabilities.
</div>
Your jQuery (ver 1.7+) would look something like this :
$(".hover").on('mouseenter',function(){
// The popup must be shown here (mouse is over element).
}).on('mouseleave',function(){
// The popup must be hidden here (mouse has left element).
});
I should add here that I am using a great and yet sometimes forgotten capability of jQuery called "chaining". The on() function actually returns the object that it was attached to. In this case $(".hover") - so if I want to call another function on that object I can just add it as another function at the end. Another example of this would be :
$("#myElement").text("An error has occured!").css("color","#FF0000");
That line of code would also at the text to #myElement and also turn the colour red.
With regard to your actual popup - I would suggest two things :
Have an element at the bottom of your markup (written last so highest index - or manually set the highest z-index)
You could also have the popup in a hidden element right next to the element that is supposed to trigger the popup.
What you're after sounds like a 'tool tip'.
The solutions using jQuery are somewhat involved - so I'll just direct you to external resources.

I am writing a simple personal app that has a browser control and I want it to automatically "Refresh" gmail to check it more often than it does by default. There are monkey scripts that do this but I'm trying to add my personal style to it.
Anyhow, I've looked around and found everything but what I can do in csharp using the browser control.
I found this:
// Link the ID from the web form to the Button var
theButton = webBrowser_Gmail.Document.GetElementById("Refresh");
// Now do the actual click.
theButton.InvokeMember("click");
But it comes back with null in 'theButton' so it doesn't invoke anything.
Anyone have any suggestions?
It's been awhile since I've used JavaScript, but given the other answers and comments that there is no real ID associated with the element, could you do something like the following:
Search all Div's with an attribute of Role == 'Button' and an InnerHtml == 'Refresh'.
Once the correct InnerHtml is found, get the Element.
Invoke the click on the found Element.
Again, this may be blowing smoke, but thought I'd throw it out there.
edit: Just realized you are doing this with C# and a browser control; however, the concept would still be the same.
The best suggestion I could give you at this point involves an existing API that is used for .NET web browser based automation:
http://watin.org/
Since the div tag with the desired button really only seems to identify itself with the class name, you could use the Find.BySelector(“”) code included with the most recent version of watin.
Here's what I am trying to do:
Select text from a webpage I pulled up using my web browser control.After clicking a button while this text is still selected I would like a message box to pop-up displaying the text that was highlighted by the user. How do I get this functionality to work in my wpf application?
I think I'm on the right track using mshtml but I get an error that says:
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
This error will happen even when I try something small on the document like changing the title.
The code is below:
IHTMLDocument2 doc = (IHTMLDocument2)this.webBookText.Document;
doc.title = "l";
Well, for starters it would be a lot simpler to use WebBrowser than mshtml (note that you can still host WebBrowser in WPF) - this will certainly let you do simple things a lot easier:
webBook.Document.Title = "foo";
However, I can't see anything there that would let you work with selections very easily...
You can get the selected element with .Document.ActiveElement, but this is the entire element - not the selected portion.
Figured it out that error was because this wasn't in my form class
