Love your presentation. Could you put your javascript some where? Loved your music , the multiple approaches, your errors (we all make them), and stuff not working (been there).

Great video! Thanks for the content, really helpful. Just one doubt. I'm a self-taught RPA learner. Any ideas on how to get started with Java Script (from the basics)?

[@TomaszPoszytek]

I would start possibly from trying to understand what I want to achieve and then googling to find any sources. Other than that I’d go to official jquery docs.

Excellent !!

Nice video. I have a question- I need to extract the web table data but one of the columns has img attribute which reflects the value when we hover over the image. I tired extracting the data using 'extract data from web page' but it is not working as mouse is not hovering over. How can I extract such elements in PAD?

[@TomaszPoszytek]

That may be challenging. Basically, that information is possibly stored under a title or alt attributes of the image. So then you would need to process row-by-row to get this data (if using built-in actions). However I feel the most efficient and best method would be to write a Javascript to extract all the information together with image attributes.

Hi brother, I try to follow "33:32 Writing to fields using jQuery script instead of UI selectors" And I testing but data is not enter in the box web page. This code $("div:contains{'First Name'} > input").val("%CurrentItem['First Name']%").blur();

[@TomaszPoszytek]

You should use regular brackets instead of curly ones. So contains('sone value')

Excellent video👍. Thanks for sharing 🌹🌹. Selector is really a headache when dealing with web automation. I still have not solved the issue of downloading an excel file from Google drive link to local download folder. Always errorr pops saying soemthing like "Element with selector 'div [id="3hpgh:1pd"] not found. Very annoying. I tried to change slector attribute class style etc, but still cannot solve this. I would appreciate if you can advise or suggest which attribute I should in the selector. You can try downlaoding an excel file from googleddoc link to see if you have this issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@TomaszPoszytek]

It simply seems that the Id of the element is dynamic. Look for any property that is static, does not change over a time. Maybe look for a label and get elements ID from the label.

Hi , so what is emulating type again? I always confused this option.

[@TomaszPoszytek]

That it emulates physical keystrokes. Like if user was actually typing on a keyboard.

[@ronaldo86]

@@TomaszPoszytek now I see should I turn it on or off most of the time?

Most of the time the elements didn't found using power automate that's the error I am getting while updating the SharePoint web form. Please help.. you screen size very slow to understand what you are typing in video

[@TomaszPoszytek]

Well, first question is, why are you updating SharePoint form using RPA? And not cloud flow? Or rest api calls?

You would do well to enlarge your screen, especially you ui selectors ... I can't see what you are typing ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying to zoom in at any important information, sorry if I missed sth.
