HTML5 Required field pop-up errors can’t be identified in UFT
Question ID: 108319

I am trying to test error messages using QTP/UFT but having trouble capturing the error messages such as popup e.g. Name Required. I googled it and tried following but it doesn’t find the element.

Browser ("CreationTime:=0").Page("index:=0").WebElement("html tag:=DIV", "html id:=contentContainer").GetROProperty("innertext")

Could you please let me know if you have any other recommendations?

One method would be to capture the pop-up as a Bitmap Checkpoint, then use **Update Run Mode**.

1) Start recording and record the first step of making the pop-up appear (in this case, by clicking the Submit Query button with nothing in the username field).

2) While still recording, click on the Checkpoint dropdown and select ''Bitmap Checkpoint.''

3) Click anywhere on the webpage (it doesn't matter where, we will update it later), enter a name, and click OK. Don't worry that the pop-up doesn't show in the bitmap capture.

4) You now have your portion of code that will invoke the pop-up.

5) Now, click on the down-arrow next to the Run button in UFT and select **Update Run Mode**, and run the script.

6) Open your Object Repository and you will see your Bitmap Checkpoint now includes the pop-up. You can then refine the checkpoint image to only include it, if desired:

7) You now have the pop-up captured as a Bitmap Checkpoint that you can test against:
