<clickElement> not executing onClick JS code of dynamically rendered tag

[Otto, Sam E]

I have an HTML page that executes a search, returning the results (an HTML table) via an 'AJAX call' which renders the table in a <div> tag on the page.  The TR tags of the AJAXed table have a unique id and an onClick attribute.  When using the <clickElement> tag in my WebTest script, the onClick event is not executed. The <clickElement> step is successful, just the javascript for the onClick was not run. 

 

Is this a limitation of the HTML/JavaScript engine that it won't execute events associated with dynamically rendered elements (elements that were not on the page originally)?

 

Thanks

 

Sam

Hi,

can you please try with latest WebTest build that integrates HtmlUnit-2.6.

Cheers,
Marc.

Hi All

I have a similar issue with js trying to click on the results from the table.

            <clickElement XPath ="//*[@class='cSearchResultsR1B1' and contains(text(),'Analog')]"
                description="Select results" />

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
    <col style="cursor:hand; padding-left:2px">
   
            <tr onClick="parent.SaveForm('Y', '546', 'Analog')"

onMouseOver="SetPSLookupRowBGColor(this)" onMouseOut="SetPSLookupRowBGColor(this)">
                <td class="cSearchResultsR1B1">Analog</td>
            </tr>       
</table>

clickElement passes but page does not change.

Canoo Webtest (R_1781)
Tried w/ HTMLUnit 2.6 and the latest 2.7 snap shot ( build.1590  09/10/2009 11:18:12) and got the same results

Thanks
