Hi, I'm trying to use the DOM to locate a form element in Selenium but I can't get it to work. Even if I use the example in the Selenium documentation it still fails, for example with this html...
<html>
<body>
<form id="loginForm">
<input name="username" type="text" />
<input name="password" type="password" />
<input name="continue" type="submit" value="Login" />
<input name="continue" type="button" value="Clear" />
</form>
</body>
<html>
and this command in the Selenium IDE...
verifyElementPresent
with target...
dom=document.forms['loginForm']
I get [error] false in the log. The 'getElementById' example in the documentation does work, but none of the others.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.
