I'm having a hard time testing our Wicket application using Selenium because of the random markup ids.
For individual elements, I can use abc.setOutputMarkupId(true).setMarkupId("myId")
to set their markup id explicitly.
But what if the element is added dynamically using a repeater (like ListView)? Is there a way to specify how the markup id sequence should look like?
Well, can't you do the same thing with ListView? If you make your own ListView implementation, and then in the populateItem(final ListItem<?> listItem) method, on that respective listItem you do:
listItem.setOutputMarkupId(true); // write id attribute of element to html
listItem.setMarkupId("id"+i);
where i is some index you initialize in the ListView's constructor or something?
as Andrei told that its possible but dangerous.
setMarkupId doc:
Retrieves id by which this component is represented within the markup. This is either the id attribute set explicitly via a call to
org.apache.wicket.Component.setMarkupId(java.lang.String), id
attribute defined in the markup, or an automatically generated id - in
that order. If no explicit id is set this function will generate an id
value that will be unique in the page. This is the preferred way as
there is no chance of id collision.

and also you cant get the markup id with getMarkupId()

I have a simple form that's in a dialog fragment used to submitting two fields for log-in auth.
For simplicity I was hoping to not have to use data binding, but rather use some method to gather all data inside my sap.ui.layout.form.SimpleForm.
I added a name property to each input element which says in the docs it is " Defines the name of the control for the purposes of form submission."
https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m.InputBase/controlProperties#name
However hard as I try to find there doesn't seem to be any getFormData methods.
All SO questions and guides either use data binding to a model, or hard-code references to the individual input controls with .getValue() methods.
And looking further into the form API, there doesn't seem to be a Submit event either.
Given an arbitrary form, what would be the best way to gather all submission values without hard-coded references or data-binding?
Would a method that walks though all the children elements of a form looking for all submission values work? I think it might, but there are more submission input types then just the input component.
You can get the value of the fields by directly using;
var oField = sap.ui.getCore().byId('IdOfTheFieldAtTheDialog');
var sValue = oField.getValue();
But it's always better and convenient to use data binding which keep things neat.
And If I assume that you have the id of parent form container, you can iterate over the items and get the sap.m.Input elements in it without knowing the IDs of the individual inputs, and you may check the name property of the fields if you want. Check this snippet;

I've built a Zend_Form_Decorator_Input class which extends Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract, so that I could customize my form inputs -- works great. I ran into a problem in the decorate class, in trying to get the form name of the element, so as to built a unique id for each field (in case there are multiple forms with identical field names).
There is no method like this: Zend_Form_Element::getForm(); It seems Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract doesn't have this ability either. Any ideas?
I don't think changing the id from the decorator is the right approach. At the time the decorator is called the element already has been rendered. Thus changing the id would have no effect to the source code. Additionally, as you already have pointed out, the relation between a form and its elements is unidirectional, i.e. (to my best knowledge) there is no direct way to access the form from the element.
So far the bad news.
The good news is, that there actually is a pretty easy solution to your problem: The Zend_Form option elementsBelongTo. It prevents that the same ID is assigned to two form elements that have the same name but belong to different forms:
$form1 = new Zend_Form(array('elementsBelongTo' => 'form1'));
$form1->addElement('Text', 'text1');
$form2 = new Zend_Form(array('elementsBelongTo' => 'form2'));
$form2->addElement('Text', 'text1');
Although both forms have a text field named 'text1', they have different ids: 'form1-text1' and 'form2-text1'. However, there is a major drawback to this: This also changes the name elements in such a way that they are in the format formname[elementname]. Therefore $this->getRequest()->getParam('formname') will return an associative array containing the form elements.
I have few short questions regarding Enterprise architect.
My question is regarding the automation interface. When following the instructions provided on this page: http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/colle... in order to add a new element to the collection ( and the .eap file) it does not add the element. I can get data from the elements, modify and even delete them, but adding a new element does not work?
Instructions provided:
Call AddNew to add a new item.
Modify the item as required.
Call Update on the item to save it to the database.
Call Refresh on the collection to include it in the current set.
my java example:
elements is a collection of all the elements in the model...
org.sparx.Element elementEa = elements.AddNew("Requirement", "non-functional");
elementEa.Update();
elements.Refresh();
With the api is it possible to change the id or guid of an element since there are no methods specified in org.sparx for that?
One last thing... Is it possible to create a custom element in EA, for example a requirement which will not have the standard properties like difficulty, priority etc.. , but will have others? (normal properties, not tagged values)
The arguments to AddNew() are Name and Type, so to create a Requirement element you should specify "SomeRequirementName" and "Requirement".
You can't change the ID or GUID through the API, and your models would crash and burn if you did (connectors would be left dangling, elements would vanish from diagrams, etc, etc).
With an MDG Technology you can create very detailed stereotyped elements if you like, with their own visual representations (shape scripts) etc, but if you're after creating an element type with its own properties dialog the answer is no; there is no hook for a custom dialog in the API.
Collection<Package> packageCollection = myPackage.GetPackages();
Package consolidatedCfsSpecPackage = packageCollection.AddNew("somePackageName", "");
if (!consolidatedCfsSpecPackage.Update()) {
System.err.println("Not Updated: somePackageName");
}
packageCollection.Refresh();
This works for me. I suggest you to check return value of elementEa.Update() method you called. If it returns false, you can get the reason by calling elementEa.GetLastError().
In jquery is it possible to access a select element by simply using the div or span id plus the "select" selector? I ask because i have a series of auto-generated forms meaning I can't assign an id to the form elements plus the names are weird like "w24", I'd like to access a form element specifically a select using the surrounding span id and "select" selector example:
$("#hiv_care select").attr("disabled",true);
I've tried this but it doesn't work, forcing me to explicitly use the dropdown name.
Seems I was using the wrong div id. SLaks thanks for the link to jsfiddle.net it exposed my ways and is really helping me with testing out my jquery code.
I want get html id of input field & icon field of a TextItem widget, how can i do this ???
(no getId methos is available for TextItem widget & seems that setAttribiute("id", "foo") has no effect)
since everything is on a single page, i wouldn't dare to set any IDs yourself, the probability that you create two items (by mistake) with the same id is quite high.
why would you need it anyway?
you may get the html element by name
textItem.setName("foo");
DOM.getElementsByName("foo")
