Web element

[Gokul001 (Gokul Balaji)]

Hi @A_Learner

• The “relative visibility” attribute for a web element is not a standard attribute in HTML or CSS. However, the “visibility” property in CSS specifies whether or not an element is visible.

• If you set the “visibility” property to “hidden”, the contents of the element will be invisible, but the element stays in its original position and size. If you set the “visibility” property to “collapse”, the element will be hidden and the space it occupied will be removed.

You can use the “Get Attribute” activity to retrieve the value of the “visibility” property of a web element. If the “visibility” property is set to “hidden”, the “Get Attribute” activity will return “0”

Get Attribute: Visibility returning 0 even though the element is visible

I want the robot to proceed only if a certain element is visible on the screen. I was initially using Element Exists but this returns true even when the element is hidden or not visible as long as the browser/window has the element on it. In my case, it needs to be visible on the screen, so I switched to Get Attribute: “Visibility”, but it is returning 0 even though the element is visible! When I open UiExplorer, I can see that the element’s property (Visibility: 1), so I don’t understand why…
