Handling Tables with same ID and Name

Handling Tables with same ID and Name

If in a page there are more then one table with same name and id, then we can identify each table using position is selenium

For example

1. Go to "http://www.icicidirect.com". Click on the Markets Link
2. Here we will find two tables Top Gainer and Top Losers with same id.
3. We can identify each table uniquely using position

Below is the code

public static DefaultSelenium ds = null;

public static SeleniumServer server = null;

public static void selecttable()

{

String str;

start("http://www.icicidirect.com"); // function to launch url

Thread.sleep(3000);

ds.click("link=Markets");

Thread.sleep(5000);

str=ds.getTable("xpath=(//*[@class='tabData bdr_btm brd'])[position()=2].3.1");

System.out.println(str);

}

public static void start(String url) throws Exception

{

rc=new RemoteControlConfiguration();

rc.setPort(1111);

server = new SeleniumServer(rc);

server.start();

ds=new DefaultSelenium("localhost",1111,"*firefox",url);

ds.start();

ds.windowMaximize();

ds.open("/");

}

In the above code if we provide [position()=1] then 1^st table will be selected and for [position()=2] 2^nd table will be selected
