I have an element that I am trying to grab/scrape during my visit to the website.
I have an element scraper that I created and use to grab any input elements on the screen and grab them by their element.id
Works great on all the "other" input boxes that I am trying to grab except this one.
If I manually grab the element using Firebug I can insert the element by Id and it works fine to pass the variable back to the website however I am trying to avoid Firebug and use my contextmenu that I have created to grab web elements.
I believe it's nested and when I try to grab this element by id it comes up zero.
Here is the portion of the application that grabs the input element'
I have a context menu setup on my form that when I click the input box on the screen the drop down box appears for me to click on.
I have the drop down box set to grab the element it's id and place that into a richtextbox.
Here is the code for that portion of the application.
I've tried everything that I can think of to grab this input box that I am unable to grab the element off of.
I coded up my drop down context menu to appear if any of these are true for the element that I click on.
On this input box I've tried to grab the element by ID, name, type, etc"
Here is the code for the element that I am needing help grabbing the element by.
