HTML DOM

Hi! Are there any useful solutions for HTML DOM? To be more precise, is it possible to find and activate element in it? Does JavaScripts Insert and Invoke actions works with it? Thanks in advance!

The only interfaces available

The only interfaces available in Blue Prism for browswers are Accessibility Mode (and soon UIA in v6) and the HTML mode which is based upon the IE COM. The HTML mode as options to insert and invoke javascript. Details here: https://portal.blueprism.com/system/files/Browser%20Automation%20Guide_… Is there a use case you are trying to solve which these modes do not cover?

Those modes are not covering

Those modes are not covering all the functionality, as I can`t retrieve data from the app. The thing is that for exact HTML table where are all the elements, number of columns/rows is changing as it is dynamic and it is not possible to find the same HTML pattern in other cases. Regarding AA mode, as the cell values are changing as well, it is not possible to define them. The other unique value is element`s ID, but it is changing for each element also. For now it looks, that only useful tool would be surface automation or regex patterns on raw text.
