TextArea: WebElement.getText() and .getAttribute("value") should be different #2131
Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2131
Hi all,
With 2.1.0, the far below HTML and WebDriver test case works differently with FF 5
/ IE 9 / HtmlUnit 2.8
Output:
IE:
getText() a,a, -> Correct (should it be "a,")
getAttribute() a,a, -> Correct (should it be "a,")
FF:
getText() -> Incorrect
getAttribute() a,a, -> Correct (should it be "a,")
HU:
getText() -> Incorrect (due to WebDriver)
getAttribute() -> Incorrect (due to HtmlUnit)
Please note that HtmlUnit 2.8 behaves correctly for getText(), but not with getAttribute()
which I will try to fix.
----------------------------------
<html><head><title>foo</title><script>
function init() {
var s = document.getElementById('s');
if (s.addEventListener) {
s.addEventListener('click', handle, false);
} else if (s.attachEvent) {
s.attachEvent('onclick', handle);
}
}
function handle(event) {
myTextArea.value += s.options[s.selectedIndex].value + ',';
}
</script></head><body onload='init()'>
<select id='s'>
<option value='a'>A</option>
<option id='opb' value='b'>B</option>
<option value='c'>C</option>
</select>
<textarea id=myTextArea></textarea>
</body></html>
----------------------------------
WebDriver:
WebDriver driver = ....;
driver.get(url);
driver.findElement(By.id("opb")).click();
WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.id("myTextArea"));
System.out.println("getText() " + e.getText());
System.out.println("getAttribute() " + e.getAttribute("value"));
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.close();
----------------------------------
HtmlUnit:
WebClient webClient = ...;
HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage(url);
page.getHtmlElementById("opb").click();
HtmlTextArea e = page.getHtmlElementById("myTextArea");
System.out.println("getText() " + e.getText());
System.out.println("getAttribute() " + e.getAttribute("value"));
