How to validate contents of tooltip - zaira_p - 07-14-2009

Hello everybody,

I have to validate there is text in a tooltip. I am using firefox not IE.

I have tried:

Code:
Tooltip = browser("x").Page("y").WebElement("z").GetROProperty("title")

but it is empty

Any ideas?

QTP only provides replay support for Firefox(FF). You can record a statement on IE or spy it to find out which property holds the tool tip. Once done you can then run the same script on FF.

Hi Laura,

Proceed as Ankur suggested.

Use the below properties accordingly while retrieving the ToolTip Text.

WebElement --> Innertext/Title
Image --> Alt
Link --> Title

See the below examples:
Ex1:

Code:
msgbox Browser("Yahoo! India").Page("Yahoo! India").Image("Click here").GetROProperty("alt")

Ex2:

Code:
msgbox browser("Google").Page("Google").WebElement("India").Object.title
