Hi. Thanks.
The bit of the code I was trying to save
was the href.
I changed the storeAttribute to storeText
and it works a treat now
Thanks again
Terry Simpson

storeAttribute is used to store the
attribute value of a tag. I don't think that's what you want to do. Maybe you
want to use storeText...
The error is probably caused by the fact
that you're not using the correct syntax for storeAttribute, which is elementLocator@attributeName...
Exactly what part of the HTML code you
pasted do you want to save in the "banner1" variable ?

failure
Hi. Hope someone can help. I am new to software testing and
exploring the features in Selenium 0.6.0.
I’m trying to store an attribute using Xpath as a
locator but Selenium is telling me there is a failure.
Using the same locator with clickAndWait action works fine
The message in the log console is listed below
·
Executing: |open | http://uat.pandanet.coop/cooptravel | |
·
Executing: |storeAttribute |
//div[@id='ThreeBanner2']/a[@href] | banner1 |
·
Unexpected Exception:
number -> 51, description -> DOM-L3-XPath 0.0.3.0: Invalid _expression_,
"_expression_ expected. //div[@id='ThreeBanner2']/a[<--", message
-> DOM-L3-XPath 0.0.3.0: Invalid _expression_, "_expression_ expected.//div[@id='ThreeBanner2']/a[<--",
code -> 51, name -> XPathException
The HTML code concerned is listed
below
<div id="ThreeBanner2" class="BannerAd"><a href="http://www.holidayautos.co.uk/cgi-bin/liveweb.sh/QSearch.w?ctryref=GBR&lang=EN&aff=xcooptraveldirect" name="Holiday Car Hire"><img src="images/banners/carhire2wide.gif" width="230" height="60" alt="Holiday Car Hire" /></a></div>
Many thanks
Terry
