Description

« Hide

Image buttons of the format <input type="image"> can not be found by :id or by :name or by :alt when searching from a form element. However these image buttons can be found on the page or from a containing div element. The issue is not reproducable with say, text fields or buttons of the format <input type="button">, which behaves as expected.

I will upload a example momentarily.

The aforementioned test case

The tests test_find_controls_on_page_by_id, test_find_controls_on_page_by_name, and test_find_buttons_on_page_by_alt demonstrate that the text buttons, image buttons and text fields can be found on the page by :id, :name, and by :alt.

However, the tests test_find_controls_in_form_by_id, test_find_controls_in_form_by_name, and test_find_buttons_in_form_by_alt fail to find the image buttons of the format <input type="image"> when searching from the containing Form element.

However, when searching from a containing element that is not a Form element, the image buttons can be found.
