I'm automating a task using Java and Selenium.
I want to set a checkbox (which is in the first column of a table) based on whether the value in the second column matches my input value. For example, in the following code snippet, the value "Magnus" matches my input value so I want to set the checkbox associated with it.
<table class="cuesTableBg" width="100%" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="Find List Table Result">
<tbody>
<tr class="cuesTableBg">
<tr class="cuesTableRowEven">
<tr class="cuesTableRowOdd">
<td align="center">
<input class="content-nogroove" type="checkbox" name="result[1].chked" value="true">
<input type="hidden" value="1c62dd7a-097a-d318-df13-75de31f54cb9" name="result[1].col[0].stringVal">
<input type="hidden" value="Magnus" name="result[1].col[1].stringVal">
</td>
<td align="left">
<a class="cuesTextLink" href="userEdit.do?key=1c62dd7a-097a-d318-df13-75de31f54cb9">Magnus</a>
</td>
<td align="left"></td>
<td align="left">Carlsen</td>
<td align="left"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="cuesTableRowEven">
</tbody>
</table>
But I'm unable to do it. In the above case, the following two lines serve the purpose (as my input value matches with that in the second row):
WebElement checkbox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type = 'checkbox' and @name = 'result[1].chked']"));
checkbox.click();
But it can't be used as the required value might not always be in the second row.
I tried following code block but to no avail:
List<WebElement> rows = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@summary = 'Find List Table Result']//tr"));
for (WebElement row : rows) {
WebElement userID = row.findElement(By.xpath(".//td[1]"));
if(userID.getText() == "Magnus") {
WebElement checkbox = row.findElement(By.xpath(".//input[@type = 'checkbox']"));
checkbox.click();
break;
}
}
For what it's worth, XPath of the text in the second column:
/html/body[@id='mainbody']/table/tbody/tr/td/div[@id='contentautoscroll']/form/table[2]/tbody/tr[3]/td[2]/a
I don't know about CSS Selectors. Will it help here?
