Hint text testing using selenium IDE -


i learning selenium ide.

for learning , testing, have chosen popular social wbsite's 'sign up' page.

enter image description here

on page can see several textfields hint text.(e.g : first name).

i want assert/verify text if 'present or not' in perticular text field.

for have written following script:

asserttextpresent |   //*[@id='.....'] |  first name asserttext        |   //*[@id='.....'] |  first name verifytextpresent |   //*[@id='.....'] |  first name verifytext        |   //*[@id='.....'] |  first name 

but every time when execute script, result :

[info] executing: |asserttextpresent | //*[@id='u_0_1'] | first name | [error] false   [info] executing: |asserttext | //*[@id='u_0_1'] | first name | [error] actual value '' did not match 'first name'   [info] executing: |verifytextpresent | //*[@id='u_0_1'] | first name |  [info] executing: |verifytext | //*[@id='u_0_1'] | first name |  

so can suggest me correct script testing 'hint text' ?

you need find element hint text defined in. example, search field on site has hint text of 'search', , code is:

<form id="search" autocomplete="off" method="get" action="/search"> <input type="text" maxlength="240" autocomplete="off" tabindex="1"  value="" placeholder="search" name="q" style="display: inline-block;  width: 188px; max-width: 188px;"> </form> 

so it's 'placeholder' attribute contains text, can is:

<tr> <td>verifyattribute</td> <td>name=q@placeholder</td> <td>search</td> </tr> 

you need substitute locator/attribute name in target field you're testing, , value should be.
