Hello, im new to Kantu.

I want to count the total child elements within a specific div id., and store it into a variable.

Example

<div id="maindiv">
    <div id="innerdiv">
    </div>
    <div id="innerdiv">
    </div>
    <div id="innerdiv">
    </div>
    <div id="innerdiv">
    </div>
    <div id="innerdiv">
    </div>
<div>

I want to store a variable with the total “innerdiv” count within the “maindiv” div . In this example would be 5.

I ve spent a lot of time trying different stuff but with no success, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Maybe sourceSearch + regex? Search and Extract page source code - Selenium IDE Commands Tutorial

sourceSearch | innerdiv | result

The sourceSearch command It does not work on the DOM, but directly on the HTML page. But often that does not matter.

Hey Plankton, thanks for you reply.

Unfortunately in my case I need to work on the DOM, because the full site is generated by javascript, there are no HTML tags to parse in the source.

Any other ideas? I have been stuck in my project for 2 days because of this, I need to count the childs of a dynamic div in order to advance :frowning:

I ve seen some stackoverflow posts talking about this, working with selenium. They are using xpath property “Count”.

Problem is I dont know how to use it, or if it is even possible with Kantu.

A code example with my issue example would be really appreciated if anyone knows how to do it
