Hi Harish,

Thanks for your time and effort.

I want to capture screenshot and I got logic for that but the coordinates passed into the code are static and I want to capture a particular div tag of a web page.

don't know how to do that.

If you know anything please let me know.

Hi Manoj,

If you're looking for the co-ordinates of an HTML element then using a reader stage you can use the property get screen bounds which gives the co-ordinates of the HTML element attaching the screenshot for your reference

Hi Babjee,

Hope you are doing great.

I used Read stage and I am getting relative coordinates to the web page but not relative to the window size, so when I am trying to use them to capture screenshot I am getting image of other part.

While to suggest something for this, on how to get coordinates relative to windows instead of webpage.

Thanks and Regards

Manoj Patidar

Hi Manoj,

As part of the best practice you can use maximize window after launch for the browser and then try getting the co-ordinates. Please let me know if you're still unable to get the correct co-ordinates.

Hi Manoj,

You can spy whole window in win 32 mode in app modeller and then you can see maximize action in navigation stage.

Hi Manoj,

As suggested by Harish switch to Win32 mode resize the browser window, spy the entire chrome window as shown in the below screenshot

Then using the element you'll get the Maximise option as shown below

Hope this helps...

@ManojPatidar

You can try this command after the URL --force-renderer-accessibility --start-maximized so that screen will be maximised automatically.

[URL] --force-renderer-accessibility --start-maximized
