How do I retrieve the text in a table column using Selenium RC?
17,142
Solution 1
String value1 = selenium.getText("//tr[1]/td[1]/strong[contains(text(), Label1:')]/../../td[2]");
Solution 2
it would be
string value1 = selenium.getTable("table.1.2");
string value2 = selenium.getTable("table.2.2");
and so on.
The help text for getTable is
getTable(tableCellAddress) Arguments:
tableCellAddress - a cell address, e.g. "foo.1.4"
Returns: the text from the specified cell
Gets the text from a cell of a table. The cellAddress syntax tableLocator.row.column, where row and column start at 0.
Solution 3
Check this,
int i =1;
while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table/tbody/tr["+i+"]/td[2]")){
System.out.println(selenium.getText("//table/tbody/tr["+i+"]/td[2]"));
i++;
}
Result will contain all the values listed.Hope it helps!!!

I have a table that looks like the following:
<table class="theClass"> <tr> <td class="anotherClass"><strong>Label1:</strong></td> <td colspan="3">Value1a<br/>Value1b<br/>Value1c</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="anotherClass"><strong>Label2:</strong></td> <td colspan="3">Value2a<br/>Value2b<br/>Value2c</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="anotherClass"><strong>Label3:</strong></td> <td colspan="3">Value3a<br/>Value3b<br/>Value3c</td> </tr> </table>
How can I use Selenium RC to retrieve Value1a, Value1b, and Value1c ? Can I use selenium.getText(...) or storeText(...)? If so, what is the proper xpath I should use? Please assume that the table cannot be changed. Thanks!
