How to get inner text of an element in Selenium?

问题

I have an element in DOM as

<input type = "form-control" type="text" data-bind="textInput: EnterpriseId" disabled autocomplete="off">

This text box contains some text which does not reflect in this element tag. How do I get this value? Like, obviously,

element.getText() does not work and return blank. So is there a way I can get the text?

Any suggestions would be of great help.

回答1:

try this

 WebElement element= driver.findElement(By.id("id value"));  
 String val=element.getAttribute("innerText")

回答2:

I presume the element in question is an <input> element, so you may be able to use the element.getAttribute(String attribute) method like so:

String value = element.getAttribute("value");

回答3:

This input tag is disabled, hence element.getText() return blank val. Use element.getAttribute("textContent") instead. Hope this will work.

回答4:

Are you looking for the placeholder of an input text? 'cause you might try

element.getAttribute("placeholder");

回答5:

You can go to your browser -> open developer tools -> inspect element you want to take attribute from -> click Properties-> check if that value is in InnerText

Then do as it is mentioned in above comments:

element_locator.get_attribute('InnerText')

had the exact same issue! This post solved it for me: How can I get the current contents of an element in webdriver I used:

element = driver.find_elements_by_xpath(
'//button[@class="size-grid-dropdown size-grid-button"]')
element.text
