    <p>I've been writing test automation (in Selenium2 Java, Firefox 3.6) of an application that uses a lot of ExtJS. I have been able to work around the mighty morphing element ids pretty well, but on one page the code behavior has me stumped. There is a text field where a username can be set. It isn't clickable until the edit button is clicked, and then Firebug can find the text field. If text is entered and then saved, the text is visible on the page but it does not appear anywhere in the HTML code. Even if the edit button is clicked again to make the text field accessible, I can't get the value of the text field. This is the code for the label and text field in edit mode:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="x-form-item " tabindex="-1"&gt; &lt;label class="x-form-item-label" style="width: 250px;" for="ext-comp-1022"&gt;Interface Username:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;div id="x-form-el-ext-comp-1022" class="x-form-element" style="padding-left: 255px;"&gt; &lt;input id="ext-comp-1022" class=" x-form-text x-form-field " type="text" name="interfaceUsername" autocomplete="off" size="20" style="width: 292px;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note that the label "Username:" displays in the HTML as expected, but there's nothing for the textfield itself. I'm suspecting that a javascript call is getting and displaying the text in the text field, but I'm not at all familiar with ExtJS. I checked out <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/107314/any-suggestions-for-testing-extjs-code-in-a-browser-preferably-with-selenium">this post</a> but it did not apply to getting text, mostly just the changing ID problem. So, I would like to understand how to figure out what script is being called, and how to use executeScript to grab the textfield text with it. I'm able to enter text in the field with Selenium, save it with Selenium, and see it on the page by eyeball so I'm not having problems with the Selenium code itself locating the element.</p> <p>Thanks, Sabrina</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
