[lambada]

Hello everybody!

I would like to ask you what is the best way for coding a function in Java script for choosing (click) a value into a dynamic table?

Thank you for helping me in advance.

Hi,

Can you provide more details about your application and task - technology used (iOS/Android), screenshots, element properties (Object Browser data) etc?

[lambada]

Thank you for answering

It is browser testing. There is a application and a table into a side. I have to choose a specific value I need and to click on it. The table is dynamic, so the cell column of the specific value I need is changing by any changes (if bytime new values are generated). 

I hope that explains it better.

So, you are speaking about web-application, right? I was confused, because this part of community is about mobile apps. Different technologies may require a different approaches.

No, it does not.

Implementation depends on your tested application, conditions and your needs.

For example, if the value you are looking for is unique, then you may just search for it within entire page. Or within the given table.

If you must find the cell on the intersection of the given row and column, then you must find a way to get the required row and column and than find a way to find an object that corresponds their intersection. (In modern web applications table does not necessarily have a <Table> markup, likewise cells do not necessarily have a <TD> markup.)

If your table is long and lines that are out of view are populated only when they are scrolled into view, then you will have to search for the data within the view, scroll and search again until search success or data end.

So the more actual information and data, but not generic description that is applicable to any dynamic table, you provide, the better are chances to get a helpful piece of advice...

unfortunatelly I posted it twice and I didn´t find how to delete this one in the community about mobile apps, but I was happy that someone answered to my question

Thank you for your answer.

I have a table. And there are several values. I need f.e. to click the value "name123". Every value is in the same row (here: row 1). I need a "if" funcion with a "column counter", because the script has to go to the first column and compare if the first value is "name123". If the value is "name123" it should click on it, else go to the second column in the same row. And so on till it reach the value "name123".

I hope  this is now better, I am a starter.

On the high level you already answered your question.

On the more lower level of actual implementation you still did not provide any information that provides at least some information about internal structure of your tested application.

You should use Object Browser, explore internal structure of the given web page and figure out how to identify and iterate through the objects that you need to analyze.

and https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/index.html

help topics might help you if you are not familiar with how TestComplete interacts with the tested application.

Hi Alex

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, but now I should write a script. Can you help me?

function choose value() {

var name123;

if ( 

...

count = count +1;

...

click.name123;

}

}

something like that.

It is browser testing (Chrome) and a table like:

name ab    age ab

name00     age00

name0       age0

name1       age1

name5       age5

name cd    age cd

name8       age8

...

name123   age123

name124   age124

...

name x      age x

name za     age za

but the table ist dynamic. So once the value "name123" is f.e. in column 17 and next time in column 28. So I cannot use page.browsername. ... .click(74, 18);
