Note: This should be on the user mailing list, not the devel. If you reply,
please do at selenium-users@lists.public.thoughtworks.org
storeAttribute is used to store the attribute value of a tag. I don't think
that's what you want to do. Maybe you want to use storeText...
The error is probably caused by the fact that you're not using the correct
syntax for storeAttribute, which is elementLocator@attributeName...
Exactly what part of the HTML code you pasted do you want to save in the
"banner1" variable ?

Subject: [Selenium-devel] Selenium failure
Hi. Hope someone can help. I am new to software testing and exploring the
features in Selenium 0.6.0.
I'm trying to store an attribute using Xpath as a locator but Selenium is
telling me there is a failure.
Using the same locator with clickAndWait action works fine
The message in the log console is listed below
* Executing: |open |
http://uat.pandanet.coop/cooptravel | |
* Executing: |storeAttribute |
//div[@id='ThreeBanner2']/a[@href] | banner1 |
* Unexpected Exception: number -> 51,
description -> DOM-L3-XPath 0.0.3.0: Invalid expression, "Expression
expected. //div[@id='ThreeBanner2']/a[<--", message -> DOM-L3-XPath 0.0.3.0:
Invalid expression, "Expression expected.//div[@id='ThreeBanner2']/a[<--",
code -> 51, name -> XPathException
The HTML code concerned is listed below
<div id="ThreeBanner2" class="BannerAd"><a
href="http://www.holidayautos.co.uk/cgi-bin/liveweb.sh/QSearch.w?ctryref=GBR
&lang=EN&aff=xcooptraveldirect" name="Holiday Car Hire"><img

Many thanks
