Unable to spy html element on a website


I am trying to spy a navigation button which drops a dropdown menu when hovers upon. I am having trouble highlighting what I have identified.

I ran IE's DOM explorer (F12) to identify the the HTML element. It is around the tags viewed on DOM explorer: html/body/div/form/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/a.

Currently I have these attributes:

  • Element Type: HTML Element
  • Class Name: MainMenu_1 (exact class name of the attribute, manually added)
  • Enabled: True (automatically generated)
  • Path: /HTML/BODY(1)/DIV(1)/FORM(1)/DIV(4)/DIV(1)/DIV(2)/TABLE(1)/TBODY(1)/TR(1)/TD(1)/TABLE(1)/TBODY(1)/TR(1)/TD(1)/A(1) (automatically generated)
  • Tag Name: A (automatically generated)
  • Parent URL: the website I am connected to (automatically generated)

Are my attributes correctly done? Do I have to add more? What else do I need to do?

The available attributes are:

  • Tag Name
  • Path
  • Enabled
  • X
  • Y
  • Width
  • Value
  • Title
  • Screen Bounds
  • Parent URL
  • Match Reverse
  • Match Index
  • Link
  • Input Type
  • Input Identifier
  • ID
  • Height
  • Class Name
  • Checked
  • Ancestor Count

Solution

  • I solved this using Application Modeler >> Identify >> Open Application Navigator. The tool identified and listed every single html elements from the website where I can choose the appropriate element.
