Finding an Element Identifier with AlertBot Web Recorder
Issue: How do I find an Element Identifier using the AlertBot Web Recorder?
To find an HTML Element's Identifier for an element on your page using the AlertBot Web Recorder, follow these steps:
Download the AlertBot Web Recorder (if you don't already have it). The download can be found by going to the "Add" Monitor screen from the Monitors List page in the AlertBot Manager and clicking the TrueBrowser Muti-Step monitor type.
Open the AlertBot Web Recorder on your computer and ensure that it is not recording (the Record button should not look like it is "pressed in")
Using the AlertBot Web Recorder, browse to the page that contains the Element that you wish to verify.
Right click on the Element you wish to verify.
On the menu box that appears, click the "Show All Available Commands" option.
In the submenu, click the option that begins with the phrase waitForElementPresent
On the right hand side of the Web Recorder, underneath the "Play" button, there should be a command called "waitForElementPresent". Click this once. (Please note that what displays on your screen may be abbreviated depending on how large your viewing area is. It should be the only entry in the list that begins with the word "wait".)
Further down the screen, directly to the left of the "Find" button and directly below a text box that says "waitForElementPresent", you will see some text entered into a text box. This is the Element Identifier. You can select the contents of this field to copy and paste this Element Identifier to another location as needed.
