How to refer to HTML element using non-standard attributes

MichalPlich2 — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 17:31:00 GMT

Hi,

What is the easiest way to refer to HTML element which attributes are not visible in Application Modeller?

See example below. I want to manipulate highlighted div object, and all I know is it's "data-module-id='course-taking'" (I can't get data-module-id in Application modeller)

I there an easy no (or amost no-coding) way to do that?

In Chrome you can use xpath, like this - Web Path/XPath: //*[@data-module-id="course-taking"]
Make sure other attributes do not interfere.

p.s. Some xpath expressions won't work, but for most cases it is good enough and much better than IE anyway.

Works great.

I've found some missleading info online, saying that it's not possible to use XPath in BP.

Thanks!

It doesn't work with legacy Internet explorer.
