Select Date from Popup calender

Hi,

I am facing a problem at the time of selecting a date in the calender ,

when i record a test and then replay it , it pops up the calender, but

without selecting the date the test moves forward and gives the error.

it doesn't show the command for selecting the date in the IDE window.

please suggest.

thanks

Re: Select Date from Popup calender

hi,

Is the popup calender in new window or new frame, if yes, u may add selectWindow or selectFrame before following actions since IDE sometimes misses them.

Re: Select Date from Popup calender

Please try the steps given below. It should work

Open the Selenium IDE tool and select the Table Tab, Then enter the values as provided below.

Commad: Enter the command as "type"

Target: point the xpath of the date field Example (//input[@id="xddateField")

Value: Provide the Date you want to enter 11-Mar-2009

This should work

Re: Select Date from Popup calender

Thanks Vignesh

But this is the usual typing that we do in any text control.

The Problem of selecting from pop up control still remains

Re: Select Date from Popup calender

Hello Rozzni,

Selenium IDE doesnt support selection of file dates etc... For exampl if you have a Browse button to select a file and upload, the only option is to script using type command. You should enter command as type and the target as the Xpath and the value as D://filename.txt. We cant do anything morethan that.

Thank You!
