Handle Hidden Drop Down Values / Auto Suggestions using DOM Trick | EventListener

[@shriniwasalle911]

This is very very useful for angular or react applications. I faced this issue lot of times, I used to do it with f8 key but now this is the coolest way you taught us. Thanks a lot man!

[@SameerKumar-yu1xi]

You are a great boss... Whenever I face issue I feel you knew in advance and you made on exactly same topic... Respect 🤜🤛

[@bektazhibaev4479]

For those who cannot find ‘blur’ event, alternatively you can remove ones in ‘focusout’

[@relaxsleep5148]

Thanks Bek, most useful comment. I was confused as I don't have blur in my Event Listerners. I removed it from 'focusout'

[@josephjibin4402]

Thanks....😊

[@raghavpothineni6843]

You are really god gift for all the QA people who is already in industry and people who are looking for job, I donot think we need to apply our brains while desgining framework or designing the scripts :) , simply coming to your channel and refer the videos and getting knowledge. My Request , can you please do a video on Common/reusable methods in selenium webdriver which can be accessed across the frame work, I found Common methods for Webdriverwait, type, click . Can you please do a common methods for Calender , Bootstrap dropdowns, webtables, Search functionalitys , Auto Suggestions, Take screenshots ...I hope you can do it for your students :) because it is cakewalk for you :)

[@amitturkar7144]

Thank you so much Naveen for this trick. I was struggling for such drop down since last 1 week. I will try like this and will let you know.

[@nethajiraj8081]

Great!! But did not work for my application. Still I am not able to inspect

[@carln22]

Alternative if blur is not present: focusout - same trick, remove all, worked on a react dropdown I was looking into.

How did you resolve it then

[@adityatripathi3379]

You can try removing focusout option in Event listener only. That will work.

[@rakeshkumarpanda1693]

Thanks a lot Naveen for sharing this. We can use the below script from browser dev tool console as an alternative for the same concept setTimeout(function(){debugger;}, 5000)

[@tissosweet....8638]

Can you elaborate on it bro? Like how to use this?

[@rakeshkumarpanda1693]

Please open your browser dev console paste the script and hit enter. After 5 seconds the ui will freeze so that with the help of the inspector tool you can start inspecting the desired elements

[@pimpomfossils]

this code is a savior! even blur sometime doesn't work in salesforce , like setup dropdown.. this code works. thanks very much.

Hi Naveen, thanks for sharing this. But it is not working in my case, I deleted the blur property as well but the moment I tried to inspect the element, the same has been selected. Please let me know if you know some other way

[@81sinnombre]

What I regularly do is in console ... setTimeout(()=>{debugger},8000) and quickly click the dropdown and wait 8 seconds

Unfortunately this will not work on incognito, and still researching how :(

[@naveenautomationlabs]

but you can inspect the element in regular browser and run the same script in incognito mode. Why do you need to inspect in incognito mode? Element properties will remain same in both regular and incognito mode.

[@KCBG18]

​@@naveenautomationlabs we have a requirement that we should use incognito so the login popup will always appear and it's part of the automation process. I also tried doing what you suggested using the normal browser (not incognito) but unfortunately when I refresh the page all of the values on the dropdown are now gone.
