WWW::Mechanize::Firefox How do you extract the text within HTML element tags?
Question
Good Day,
How do you print the text of an HTML tag with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox ?
I have tried:
print $_->text, '/n' for $mech->selector('td.dataCell');
print $_->text(), '/n' for $mech->selector('td.dataCell');
print $_->{text}, '/n' for $mech->selector('td.dataCell');
print $_->content, '/n' for $mech->selector('td.dataCell');
Remember I do not want {innerhtml} , but that does work btw.
print $_->{text}, '/n' for $mech->selector('td.dataCell');
The above line does work, but output is just multiple /n

my $node = $mech->xpath('//td[@class="dataCell"]/text()');
print $node->{nodeValue};
Note that if you're retrieving text interspersed with other tags, like "Test_1" and "Test_3" in this example...
<html>
<body>
<form name="input" action="demo_form_action.asp" method="get">
<input name="testRadioButton" value="test 1" type="radio">Test_1<br>
<input name="testRadioButton" value="test 3" type="radio">Test_3<br>
<input value="Submit" type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
You need to refer to them by their position within the tag (taking any newlines into account):
$node = $self->{mech}->xpath("//form/text()[2]", single=>1);
print $node->{nodeValue};
Which prints "Test_1".

The only solution I have is to use:
my $element = $mech->selector('td.dataCell');
my $string = $element->{innerHTML};
And then formatting the html within each dataCell

Either:
$element->{textContent};
or
$element->{innerText};
will work.
