Extracting variable from input type="hidden"

[Ivomir Assi]

Hello,
This is the input :

<input type="hidden" name="ctl00$SampleContent$ThaiRating_RatingExtender_ClientState" id="ctl00_SampleContent_ThaiRating_RatingExtender_ClientState" value="2">

I want to find the element by id and to extract its value in a variable. How to do it?
This is my approach -> http://screencast.com/t/oplfW5f0d

I'm familiar with C# so if you have any idea how to do it with script step - OK

Hello Assi,

This can be done easily in a coded step. After you have added the element to the Element explorer:

SetExtractedValue("myVariable", Pages.MySite.MyHiddenElement.Value.ToString());

See this video for a demonstration.

Hope this helps.
