Identify element where position varies

[gary.cobden]

Hi.

I need to be able to click on an element on a web page which is part of a table row, but it varies dependent on the number of rows in the table.

For example, the element i need to click on is the 50 button in the screenshots below
In the first screenshot the Selector will be
webctrl id=‘UserListTableItemsOnPageHi’ tableRow=‘7’ tag=‘A’ /

and in the second it will be
webctrl id=‘UserListTableItemsOnPageHi’ tableRow=‘12’ tag=‘A’ /

Is there a way to identify the rows in the table and pass that value back to the Selector, or is there another methodology I can use.

Thanks

I have managed to extract the number of rows in the datatable, but how do I pass that value back to the Selector for the value of TableRow

webctrl id=‘UserListTableItemsOnPageHi’ tableRow=‘7’ tag=‘A’ /

It will work if the table in structured format also you can use idx and i recommend to use aname in selector and it will be better and more accurate

Forget about the row number. Just identify the element with a selector that takes into account its unique properties besides table row.
