[tclwebtest] Checking a checkbox using the value

[Michael H. <Mic...@qu...>]

I'm trying to select a checkbox using its value. The HTML is something like
this:

<input type=checkbox  name=enable value="some-identifier-here">
<input type=checkbox  name=enable value="something-else-here">
<input type=checkbox  name=enable value="and-another">

I thought I could use:

field check ~v general-comments

but it throws the field not found exception. The following works, but isn't
very useful to me:

field check ~n enable

If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong off the top of their head, I'd
appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Michael

Hey Michael!
I'm not 100% sure you can use this for checkboxes, but I think you can.
Here it is:

field select2 ~v value

Look at the file 

http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/contrib/packages/simulation/test/simulation-test-procs.tcl?view=auto&rev=1.13

for examples of this.

Re: [tclwebtest] Checking a checkbox using the value

[Kolja L. <ma...@ko...>]

For the ~v flag tclwebtest must recognize the value of the field as 
visible to the user, so the text that is displayed along with the 
checkbox. Are you using a <label>-tag? The logic for getting the value of 
a checkbox is not very straightforward, but it may help to
debug [field all]
to see, which values the parser found.

Hope it helps
