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

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
?

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 |
·

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
