Need to access dynamic table data.

[Angel Merrett]

I have a table that is generated dynamically - the table contains a
list of items with radio buttons so the user can select an item.  I am
able to write an xpath that reaches the header of the table but I
can't seem to get to any of the data.  The code that generates the
table looks like this:

<form accept-charset='UNKNOWN' id='idForm3' method='POST'
name='frmConfigSlot' enctype='application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
onSubmit='return false;'><input name='aCurrentTransaction'
type='HIDDEN' value='1'>
   <input id='idInput5'
value='/maintenix:abcd40619fa890788d71b299fac3c609'
name='aReturnToPage' type='hidden'>

   <input id='idInput6' value='1000301:131-9B' name='aAssembly' type='hidden'>

<div id="idTreeContainer_idTableBomItems"></div>
<script language = "Javascript" type = "text/javascript">
var idTableBomItems = new DynamicTreeTable(
'idTableBomItems','idTableBomItems',null,'bom_item','bom_item_key','sub_bom_count','com.mxi.mx.web.query.assembly.BomItemTreeRoot','(INTEGER)AASSMBLDBID=1000301,(STRING)AASSMBLCD=131-9B,(INTEGER)AASSMBLBOMID=0','com.mxi.mx.web.query.assembly.BomItemTree','(INTEGER)AASSMBLDBID=1000301,(STRING)AASSMBLCD=131-9B,(INTEGER)AASSMBLBOMID=0',document.getElementById(
'idTreeContainer_idTableBomItems' ),'/maintenix','No Config Slots were
found for the 131-9B Assembly.',true );
idTableBomItems.addColumn(
'radio','','left','checkbox',null,null,true,false,null );
idTableBomItems.addColumn(
'image','','left','image',null,null,true,false,null );
idTableBomItems.addColumn( 'bom_item','Config
Slot','center','longString','dsObject( bom_item_cd_name
)',1,true,false,null );
idTableBomItems.addColumn( 'num_positions','Num
Positions','center','shortString','dsObject( pos_ct
)',null,true,false,null );
idTableBomItems.addColumn(
'bom_class','Class','center','shortString','dsObject( bom_class_cd
)',null,true,false,null );
idTableBomItems.addColumn(
'mandatory_bool','Mandatory','center','checkbox','dsObject(
mandatory_bool )',null,true,false,null );
idTableBomItems.init();
</script>

</form>

The XPather add-on has no problem finding the xpath for the data in
the table but Webtest can't seem to find out.  I tried the Webtest
recorder and got the following:
<setRadioButton description="Check radio button aParentBomItem:
1000301:131-9B:3"
name="aParentBomItem"
value="1000301:131-9B:3"/>

But that won't work in my test case.

Any idea if it's possible to reach dynamic data like this from Webtest??

Thanks,

Angel

Hi,

the JS script may generate visible elements in your page, but it is
probably not what you want to work on as it is not visible by itself in
a browser.

Cheers,
Marc.
