Trouble with detecting if table cell is hidden

[Benjamin]

Hi

i have a case that tries to verify if a cell is hidden but the verification step says that it is visible even thou IE8 do not render the cell

the table code is as follows.

<table style="empty-cells: hide">
<tr>
<td aut="cell1">some text so this cell is visible</td>
<td aut="cell2"></td>
</tr>
</table>

is there a way to detect that cell2 is hidden and not wrongly detected as "visible" ?

Hi Benjamin,
    I've logged this as a bug, you can monitor its progress here:

Meanwhile you can workaround this by checking whether TD is empty (and thus not visible). You can do that with the Verification Builder. Highlight the <TD> element and bring up the pop-up menu. Open the Verification Builder (screenshot 1). Build a "Text Content exactly EMPTY" Verification (screenshot 2).

If "Is EMPTY" returns true this means the element is not visible and vice versa.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
