Working with tables

The commands

Currently slimdog supports two methods to test tables. The first method:

select_table | id of the table

is used to select a table by its id.
In order to check the content of a tablecell use:

check_tablecell | (xpos,ypos) = required text

The xpos and ypos are both the zero based position of the cell within the table.

Example

The HTML source for this example looks like this:

<table border="1" id="MyTestTable">
  <tr>
    <td>cell11</td><td>cell12</td><td>cell13</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>cell21</td><td>cell22</td><td>cell23</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>cell31</td><td>cell32</td><td>cell33</td>
  </tr>
</table>

The id of the table will be used to select the table.

Here is the testscipt:

get_html | http://localhost:8181/table.html
check_title | Table test
select_table | MyTestTable
check_tablecell | (0,0) = cell11
check_tablecell | ( 1 ,1 ) = cell22

Note the x and y position of a tablecell is always zero based. If one the positions are out of the table dimension then the test will fail.
