UFT/QTP – HTML DOM

The Document Object Model (DOM) is an application progamming interface (API) developed by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to create and modify HTML pages and XML documents. The document
object model can be used with any programming or scripting languages.

HTML DOM – A Standard object model for HTML documents

XML DOM – A Standard object model for XML documents

DOM is especially useful for indenidentifying:

Event Handlers

Parent Nodes

Previous and Next Elements

Ready State

Source Index

5/8/2018 UFT/QTP – HTML DOM | AUTOMATION TUTORIAL

When we cannot use DOM?

Not for Browser Compatibility Testing

Not for FireEvents

Not for Edit Box, Combo Box Validation

HTML DOM Objects

A HTML document is made up of frames, Tables, Links, Buttons and Input Data elds.. etc. But  when it
comes to DOM, every object is a node in a HTML document. The relations between the nodes are parent,
children, previous sibling and next sibling.

A UFT for every web object there is a  property called “object”. Using this property the internal methods and
properties can be accessed for any web object.

Syntax: WebObjectClass(“PropertyName:=PropertyValue”).Object

Creating document object for IE (Without UFT)

Set IE = CreateObject(“internetexplorer.application”)

IE.Visible = True

IE.Navigate = “http://google.co.in”

Set PageObject = IE.Document

Creating document object (With UFT)

Set docObj = Browser(“browser”).Page(“page”).Object.Document

Properties

activeElement Property – Retrieves the object that has the focus when the parent document has focus.

cookie Property – Sets or retrieves the string value of a cookie.

documentElement Property – Retrieves a reference to the root node of the document.

readyState Property – Retrieves a value that indicates the current state of the object.

URL Property – Sets or retrieves the URL for the current document.

URLUnencoded Property – Retrieves the URL for the document, stripped of any character encoding.

Collections

all – Returns a reference to the collection of elements contained by the object.

frames – Retrieves a collection of all window objects de ned by the given document or de ned by the
document associated with the given window.

images – Retrieves a collection, in source order, of img objects in the document.

links – Retrieves a collection of all objects that specify the HREF property and all area objects in the
document.

Methods

getElementById Method – Returns a reference to the rst object with the speci ed value of the ID
attribute.

getElementsByName Method – Retrieves a collection of objects based on the value of the NAME
attribute.

getElementsByTagName Method – Retrieves a collection of objects based on the speci ed element

name.

Accessing HTML element using DOM

Dim docObj, objIndex

Set docObj = Browser(“Sample Document”).Page((“Sample

Document”).Object.getElementsByTagName(“a”)

msgbox domObj.length

for objIndex=0 to docObj .length-1

msgbox domObj(objIndex).href
