store(expression, variableName)

Arguments:

• expression - the value to store
• variableName - the name of a variable in which the result is to be stored.

This command is a synonym for storeExpression

echo(message)

Arguments:

• message - the message to print

Prints the specified message into the third table cell in your Selenese tables. Useful for debugging.

type(locator, value)

Arguments:

• locator - an element locator
• value - the value to type

Sets the value of an input field, as though you typed it in. Can also be used to set the value of combo boxes, check boxes, etc. In these cases, value should be the value of the option selected, not the visible text.

click(locator)

Arguments:

• locator - an element locator

Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the click action causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), call waitForPageToLoad.

waitForElementPresent(locator)

Generated from isElementPresent(locator)

Arguments:

• locator - an element locator

Returns:

true if the element is present, false otherwise

Verifies that the specified element is somewhere on the page.

verifyElementPresent(locator)

Generated from isElementPresent(locator)

Arguments:

• locator - an element locator

Returns:

true if the element is present, false otherwise

Verifies that the specified element is somewhere on the page.

select(selectLocator, optionLocator)

Arguments:

• selectLocator - an element locator identifying a drop-down menu
• optionLocator - an option locator (a label by default)

Select an option from a drop-down using an option locator. Option locators provide different ways of specifying options of an HTML Select element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for asserting that the selected option satisfies a specification). There are several forms of Select Option Locator.

• label=labelPattern: matches options based on their labels, i.e. the visible text. (This is the default.)
  • label=regexp:^[Oo]ther
• value=valuePattern: matches options based on their values.
  • value=other
• id=id: matches options based on their ids.
  • id=option1
• index=index: matches an option based on its index (offset from zero).
  • index=2

If no option locator prefix is provided, the default behaviour is to match on label.
