[Solved] How to Get the Type of a WebControl?

[Zohar]

Hi

 

If you open IE, and go to some page, then set the focus on some WebElement,

then $oIE.document.activeElement will return a reference to that webelement.

 

How do I check what Type is it?

For example IMG, INPUT, etc..

 

Thank you

Have you tried checking the value of $oIE.document.activeElement.localName?

Hi

When I try to get $oIE.document.activeElement.localName, it causes an error...

$oIE.document.activeElement.nodename 
$oIE.document.activeElement.id

$oIE.document.activeElement.uniqueid
