SetAttributeValue and Web

Hello,

I've been trying to work with items on a website, i.e. using

Code: Select all

mytextbox.Element.SetAttributeValue("Text", "123");
Things that work in winforms don't work in the web.

Why? :roll:

Hi,

It works for me in my web-based tests. What kind of element is this "mytextbox" (HTML Input tag or something else)? Could you please post Ranorex snapshot of the element in question?

Seems to fail with any "text box" - like thing
including

https://de.wikipedia.org./wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite -> the "Search/Suchen" textbox top right. Seems to be a "input" html tag.

also the "pattern" textbox on
http://derekslager.com/blog/posts/2007/ ... ester.ashx

which is a textarea.

So

Code: Select all

Ranorex.Text 
does not abstract all that mess out? :? Got a quick sample code on how to add text to those two textthingies because I'm a bit stuck.

Thanks

OK, I missed there is used "Text" in your sample. You will have to use InnerText or better TagValue for the web-based inputs.
