Failed to Click on Text on Web page

Hello,

I am stuck in a problem which I considered is pretty straight forward…I have created a variable CurrentWeekday which is the string I want to search on a webapge.
I tried using the activity “Click Text” where the sting is set as CurrentWeekday.ToString
but I don’t think it can find the text even it is there…
I also tried to indicate element inside browser by clicking a specific region in the target webapge but it is not working as well…
Can someone please help? Thanks!!image

hi @jothyprasanth.m I am glad that you are here :slight_smile:!

I am looking at the selector but not sure what does it mean…can you explain the syntax so I can modify it? And I don’t see the web address here as well

Great thanks!

Hi @sylviawlng

Use Ui Explorer to get the selector with id/parentid and aaname, so u just change the aaname static to dynamic value

Static Selector:
<html />
<webctrl parentid='ca-talk' tag='A' aaname='Talk' />

Dynamic Selector:
<html />
<webctrl parentid='ca-talk' tag='A' aaname=' " +ValriableName+ " ' />

Here i have change the aaname as dynamic.

Sorry I am still lost…

  1. I tried to copy your dynamic selector to mine and change the variable but I don’t think it works. I think I should not directly copy the expression?
  2. Here is the selector after I selected the range on screen at the page I want to search text on:

    Should I define a specific area like I did just now? How can you select the whole webpage on screen so you will get the selector in your example?
    Big thanks!!!
