Autoit Webdriver _WD_ElementAction vs _WD_ElementActionEx

I just noticed @Danp2's thread was shutdown.

Anyone have an idea what the difference is in the click command in the following 2 functions

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'hover')
_WD_ElementActionEx($sSession, $sElement, 'hover')

 

Thanks

Hi... your post is confusing because you mentioned "click", but then used "hover" in the posted code. I assume that you meant to use "click" in the code.

The click command in _WD_ElementAction performs the default click functionality as defined in the Webdriver specs. The click command in _WD_ElementActionEx differs in the following ways --

• Uses "actions" to perform the mouse click (pointer down followed by pointer up)
• Allows control of which button is clicked (left, middle, right)

HTH, Dan

Thanks @Danp2

I apologize, you are correct, I copied the wrong part of code.

Here is what it should have read

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')

vs
_WD_ElementActionEx($sSession, $sElement, 'click')

Thanks i saw the extra parameters to the extended function and thanks for the clarity.
