How to get the value of input with Selenium IDE

Question

How to retrieve the field value "value" from input via the Selenium IDE (this value is variable so I want to recover its value for reuse) My input field:

    <input class="myClass" type="text" value="15" name="myName">

When I tried the following code:

<tr>
    <td>store</td>
    <td>xpath("//input[@name='myName']").getAttribute("value");</td>
    <td>x</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>echo</td>
    <td>${x}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

I have:

[info] echo: xpath("//input[@name='myName']").getAttribute("value");

instead of:

thanks for help

You are confusing javascript with the store method. getAttribute() is a javascript method.

Also, to store an attribute, you want the storeAttribute method combined with CSS:

<tr>
  <td>storeAttribute</td>
  <td>css=input[name='myName']@value</td>
  <td>x</td>
</tr>

If you are trying to execute javascript, then use storeEval.

it does not work with Store I have : [info] echo: css=input[name='myName']/@value – user3726499 Jun 13 '14 at 08:04
Try taking out the `/` might just be `css=input[name='myName']@value` – ddavison Jun 13 '14 at 13:32

storeValue works for input elements. Depending on what you need, that may be preferable to using storeEval.
