Re: RE: Canoo- Webtest query- need help with < storeElementAttribute > XML property

Hi Milind Kamu,

first of all: please do not write to my private Email -> use the 
Webtest-List. Thanks

I do now understand more what you want to do, not why. But anyway your 
task is on the edge of the capability of what webtests can do.

Testing visual features of a web-application is not the main ability of 
webtest.

-----
First of all: I do not have experience by my self with this webtest 
taks: mouseOver

1. You have to be sure that your xpath is right!
2. Check the value of the xpath-element before you use the mouseOver task.
3. Sometime we did experience some time-lag in testing a web-application 
with canoo webtests. Although I do not thing this is the case here try 
to wait some time before you check the changed values.

---

But by the way the first advice is the most important one!

Your Xpath: 
"/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/section/div/header/div/nav/div/div/ul/li/a" is 
not a distinct xpath-expression for your test-page.

My firefox-Plugin says that 3 elements match this xpath - so what do you 
want canoo webtests to do with three different elements you put mouseOver.

May be you should identify your element (mouseOver) with xpath and 
verify or store a value with the same xpath expression and not by name.

Good luck with your testing

For this test I am interested in capturing “color” , “background-color” and “text-decoration” properties after performing the “mouseOver” action. These properties are not the same before the mouseOver action. Hence its essential to capture these attributes after a mouseOver action is performed.
