Selenium IDE - Enter values in to dynamic fields

Question

So first time posting, and I am not even sure Selenium IDE can handle what I want.

So on the web page I have 10 quantity fields (its a simple e-commerce site) And I want to populate these 10 Quantity fields with values, however the id of these Qty fields can change.

e.g

Command          Target                Value

type           id=qtyField_124098        1

type           id=qtyField_124099        2           etc.

Is there an easy way to represent the Target by position. So I could put a value of 1 into the first Qty field, and 2 into the second Qty field.

Answer 1

Your best bet is to change your locator from the id to xpath. As such you could use something like //input[n] but obviously you'd change based on what is the actual xpath value for those fields.

EDIT:

With an example:

<div>
    <input> </input>
    <input> </input>
</div>

To reference the first <input> yourxpath` would be

//div/input[1]

the second would be

//div/input[2]

Obviously, in most cases xpath expressions will be more complicated than that but hopefully this gives you a starting point.

Answer 2

As this code helps me to find values dynamically and helped me, hope it will also help you

click   name=cmb_text_xxx
mouseOver   css=a:contains("xxx")
mouseDown   css=a:contains("xxx")
click       css=a:contains("xxx")
