Not able to get the text of an HTML element.

Hi Guys,  I am working on a POC of my project using test complete. But I am unable to get the text of HTML element i.e. Button, Link etc. I am using Jscript.   I have to do it soon as possible.  ...

    Usually, for HTML objects/components, this can be found using either the contentText or innerText property of the object.  Have you tried those?

obj.text and obj.innerText works for me.

 

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

According to me, you should try following code.

<script>
function get_content() {
     var html = document.getElementById("txt").innerHTML;
     document.getElementById("txt").innerHTML = html.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, "");
}
</script>

<body>
<button type="submit" onclick="get_content()">Get Content</button>
</body>

    Hi,

     

    This is not Selenium forum and TestComplete perfectly handles this via the mentioned .contentText property without any additional page code injecting.
