wait_element_exist_by_name

wait_element_exist_by_name($name,$frame=-1); - this function is used to wait for the page element to appear, checking it by the specified name.

Available from version 7.0.45

the input Function accepts parameters:

  • $name – the name by which we find the element we need on the page (string). To find out the name of an element, you can use either the element inspector, the context menu, or view it in the list of elements.
  • $frame – the number of the frame in which we are looking for the element (string). Frame numbers start from zero. By default, -1 - the element is not in the frame. You can find out the number of the frame that contains the item you need from the task inspector, the context menu, and the list of items panel.
    With version 4.6.41 of postpone: you can pass nested frames, the principle is the same, a string is numbered frames separated by : for example, if you transfer "1:0:5" - will the selected frame number 1 in it under the frame with the number 0 and the subframe number 5
    Since version 7.0.38, you can pass "url=>XXX", then search for the frame that contains the specified src, or pass " name=>XXX" - then the frame will be searched by the specified part of the name.

    The element timeout is set using the variable $iSecondsWaitElementExistBeforeAction=15; //how many seconds to wait for the element to appear defined in the template file xweb_human_emulator for each language.
