Element found?

Description

Checks whether the specified element in the browser opened via Studio exists. The 'Yes' branch is executed if the element exists, otherwise the robot will follow the 'No' branch.

 

Parameters

The 'Attributes', 'CSS Selector' and 'XPath' sections enables you to identify the element to interact with. One of the above three methods needs to be chosen in order to set the element selector.

 

Browser tabs

 This activity allows you to select the desired browser elements using the "Browser picker". 

 

The tab selection parameter offers two options: specify the tab number manually or use the "Use tab number by order" checkbox.

 

Specifying the tab number manually allows you to designate the selected tab independently from the other tabs. That is, if tab "2" is selected in the option and other tabs are actually opened in the browser before it (i.e. the tab becomes, for example, the third one), the activity will be executed in this tab anyway.  


The "Use tab number by order" checkbox denotes the tab strictly by the order of the actually opened tabs in the browser. That is, in a similar case (when the desired tab is actually the third), the Browser Picker will work exactly with the second tab of the browser.

 
Attributes
 
Class name

  1. Set a value: enables you to directly write a string with the value of the class attribute of the html-code of the corresponding element, for example, search-input.

  2. Save the previous step result: chooses the previous activity result as the class name.

  3. Calculate a value: enables you to use available properties and methods to form the class.

Id

  1. Set a value: enables you to directly write a string with the value of the id attribute of the html-code of the corresponding element, for example,

    hiddenLanguageInput.

  2. Save the previous step result: chooses the previous activity result as the id.

  3. Calculate a value: enables you to use available properties and methods to form the id.

Field name

  1. Set a value: enables you to directly write a string with the value of the name attribute of the html-code of the corresponding element, for example, search.

  2. Save the previous step result: chooses the previous activity result as the name.

  3. Calculate a value: enables you to use available properties and methods to form the name.

Tag name

  1. Set a value: enables you to directly write a string with the tag name of the html-code of the corresponding element, for example, div.

  2. Save the previous step result: chooses the previous activity result as the tag name.

  3. Calculate a value: enables you to use available properties and methods to form the tag name.

     

CSS Selector

  1. Set a value: enables you to directly write a CSS-selector string of the specified element, for example, input[name='btnK'].

  2. Save the previous step result: chooses the previous function result as the CSS-selector.

  3. Calculate a value: enables you to use available properties and methods to form the CSS-selector.

     

XPath

  1. Set a value: enables you to directly write a string which is the selector of the specified element in the XPath form, for example, //*[@id="rso"]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/a.

  2. Save the previous step result: chooses the previous function result as the XPath expression.

  3. Calculate a value: enables you to use available properties and methods to form the XPath expression.

  1. Set a value allows you to manually specify the name of the tab.

  2. Calculate a value allows you to use a special formula or a special method to determine the name of the tab.

  3. Save the previous step result takes the result of the previous workflow action as the name of the tab.

Use tab name in order
