More about links

The click_link command works in three different modes. First it will check if there is a textlink with the defined text. For example you have:

<a href="#">My Link</a>

then you can use:

click_link | My Link

In case you are using an image then you do not have a text. Therefore if the there is no link with the given text the command will look for a link with an id. For example:

<a href="#"><img src="/images/my.jpg" alt="My Image"/></a>

then you can click the link by doing:

click_link | My Image

Sometimes you might have a number of links with the same image. Therefore you can use the id for the link. For example:

<a href="#" id="1"><img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/></a>
<a href="#" id="2"><img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/></a>
<a href="#" id="3"><img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/></a>

In order to click the second link you can do:

click_link | 2

The click command will first of all check if there is a textlink with the given text. If not found it will check if there is a link with an image and the image has an alt tag with the given text. If still not found it will check if there is a link with an id with the given text.
