HTML Custom Control

[Nick]

I am trying to create a custom HTML control for the h3 tag and am having trouble.  I'm using the thread http://www.telerik.com/forums/custom-web-controls for a reference but am unable to get it to work.  I'm using the Find.ByAttributes<HtmlH3>("class=~someclass") but am not receiving only h3 elements.  Here is my code:

    public class HtmlH3 : HtmlControl
    {
        ArtOfTest.Common.IFindExpression _locatorExpression;

        public HtmlH3(Element element) : base(element)
        {
            _locatorExpression = new HtmlFindExpression("tagname=h3");
        }
        
        public HtmlH3() : base()
        {
            _locatorExpression = new HtmlFindExpression("tagname=h3");
        }
                public override ArtOfTest.Common.IFindExpression LocatorExpression
        {
            get { return _locatorExpression; }
        }
    }

 

Help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Hi Nick,

What issue exactly do you experience?

Please elaborate also a bit more why do you want to implement a custom class.

You can directly find h3 element by this find expression:

Element h3 = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression("tagname=h3");

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your response! 

What I was trying to do was run a command such as:

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.​ByContent<HtmlH3>("p:Some Content");

Which would return only h3 elements that matched the content expression.  

Basically my project that I am working on testing is big and I was trying to avoid having to add the Find.ByExpression("tagname=h3") for every h3 that I needed to retrieve.

Hello Nick,

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.​ByContent<HtmlH3>("p:Some Content"); will return only the first element with text "p:Some Content". 

In order to return a list you should use 

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.AllByContent<HtmlH3>("p:Some Content");

Let me know if that helps.
