Background

Recording web page UI automation and then later running those actions will probably fail at some point when updating PAD application to a newer version. Therefore, it’s probably safer to build web page automation (navigation and actions) with JavaScript since HTML elements can be referenced by ID and class names.

These code snippets (see all tabs) are built for Bootstrap which is a widely used framework known by professional web developers and used in many business sectors. Run these flows in your PAD to see updated values on Bootstrap´s documentation pages.

Features

Input - Set text value
Textarea - Set textarea value
Color picker - Set hex color
Checkbox - Select value
Radio - Select value
Switch - Uncheck value
Select - Set single value “Two”
Select - Set multiple values “Two” and “Three”
