Learning Selectors

[Snowman]

Hi,

I am now towards the end of the basic training, and wonder if there is any document detailing the syntax or tags used by Selector.

I found that there is a link to a full list of Selector tags, but unfortunately it returns a 404 error.

Thanks.

Hi,

I would also recommend taking some time clicking/browsing through an application’s interface with UiExplorer and looking at the “Property Explorer” panel. There are too many attributes to list exhaustively, and which ones are present varies between elements and applications. For example, a window or other top-level element usually has a title attribute containing displayed text, but for HTML elements there are properties like aaname (used by default), innertext or outertext that contain — potentially different — text values you could include in selectors.
