Re: [actf-dev] Dynamic Contents in ACTF

Hi　Elgin,

Sorry for this late reply.

>In order to decide on whether I should segment a dynamic contents, I need 
to detect these contents which are generally invisible in initial page 
load and become visible after a certain event, or loaded with an AJAX 
call.

Would you please try APIs below?
 - IWebBrowser#getLiveDocument() 
 - IWebBrowser#getStyleInfo().getCurrentStyles()

These APIs provide access to current DOM and style information in 
WebBrowser (IE). So, you can access to such kind of data at your preferred 
timing (e.g., after a certain event, or page loaded, etc.).

As for DOM events, it is difficult to directly access to these events from 
ACTF. However, you might be able to do it through JavaScript. For example,

1. Inject a JavaScript that monitors/observes DOM events, style info, 
etc..
2. By using APIs of JavaScript that injected in step 1, obtain the event 
status, etc..

I'll prepare a sample application for it after we complete the Kepler 
release work.

Best regards,
Kentarou

Hi everyone,

I have been working on extending the segmentation algorithm in ACTF by 
implementing dynamic web contents, such as carousels. In order to decide 
on whether I should segment a dynamic contents, I need to detect these 
contents which are generally invisible in initial page load and become 
visible after a certain event, or loaded with an AJAX call. Although I can 
reach the CSS attributes for each node, I cannot retrieve the attributes 
which are bind in Javascript codes, probably due to the fact that, 
Internet Explorer is not capable of providing these events for nodes (?).

Any idea on how to detect the event attributes which are bind in 
Javascript in ACTF? 

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
