      Hi all,
      I'm opening a webdialog with a url.
      The page has a span element with ID='TestElement' <span ID="TestElement">Hello World</span>

      I call get_element_value (MyVar = dialog.get_element_value("TestElement")

      I call UI.messagebox MyVar...thinking it will say "Hello World" ... but I get nothing.

      Am I missing something?

      Does get_element_value return a string?
      (I'm sure the page has loaded)

      Any Ideas?

      Thanks
      CM

        a SPAN does not have a value. If there is no other HTML in the span, then you can get the contents by innerHTML. I am not sure if using the WebDialog method "get_element_value" will work in this case.

        
        // javascript
        var txt = document.getElementById("TestElement").innerHTML
        
        
        

        Hi
