Hi,

do you fail to select a node with your new xpath or doesn't the onclick get executed? The onclick is on the td, not on the img. It is possible that it is not correctly "forwarded" to the td when you click the img. In this case, you just have to make your xpath a bit shorter to select the td rather than the img.

Marc.

I made changes in xpath as per Your Suggestion .. Unfortunately No success Yet I would like to state that I need clickElement property wit this xpath ass the xpath I am refering is an Image On clicking that Image some other actions will follow

But I did not find ClickButton and ClickLink useful as it is an onClick event clicking on image would also do trick for me But I am simply not able to click on that image . or Onclick Event

my HTML source looks like

<tr><td colspan='2' onMouseOver='MO_fold(event)' onMouseOut='MU_fold(event)' class='fold_none' onClick="foldermenu_gotourl('DistributionManager.aspx?folder_no=15&group=')"> ../AllImages/images/icons/i_folder.gif Prasanna</td></tr>Note that the iamge names used here are same for other rows in table to In such a situation How do I define xpath ?Is there any solution to my problem ?Please Let me know If anyone has handled such events----- Original Message ----- From: Denis N.

it's an FAQ: webtest, like most moder browsers, normalizes the html pages before testing it. Specifically, it inserts a <tbody> in each table, so your xpath should be:

//form[@id='Form1']/table[2]/tbody/tr[2]/td/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[4]/tbody/tr/td[1]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table/tbody/tr[4]/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/img

Note that this is indeed a very long xpath, you may consider simplifying it. But that's a different question.

Happy testing dna

Hi I am using xpath explorer to find xpath and from xpath explorerI get correct xpath as

//form[@id='Form1']/table[2]/tr[2]/td/table/tr/td[2]/table[4]/tr/td[1]/table/tr/td[2]/table/tr[4]/td/table/tr/td/table/tr/td[2]/img

But it seems if xpath is lengthy Canoo fails to recoginse it and gives error xpath not found

But My xpath is correct as per xpath explorer anyone knows solution for better xpath ?? Help me please
