Re: Selenium::Firefox: problem finding a child

Hello samberman, and welcome to the Monastery!

When I open the given url (in Google Chrome) and select “View page source,” a search finds no elements beginning <div class="pageView">. So, a suggestion: Have you tried printing the value of $parent before the call to initialize $child, to verify that the parent “pageView” node has actually been found?

Hope that helps,

Thank you for your response. If you "inspectElement" rather than view the page source, you'll see what I saw and it is in the $content variable. Ken, above actually had the answer to the query -- please check above, but if you look above, you'll see another small query. Also, how does one print the value of the element that I have in the variable, $parent? Thanks again -- Your time and information is truly appreciated.	[reply]
