As an example, I want a script for google.co.uk to end when document.getElementById("shf0").childNodes.item(0).childNodes.item(0).innerText="Make Google my homepage".

That is just an example, what I am trying to do is use javascript to wait for a particular peice of text to update, and then the page completes. DOM completion doesnt seem very intuitive and script will be a lot easier.

thank you

To make it simple, the scenario is going to be:

1.  Navigate to http://www.google.com
2.  Search for a string using JavaScript rather than a conventional record.

The JavaScript that we are going to use is:

{
 document.f.q.value = "Search 1";
 document.f.submit();
}

In this case, how to make the Search String to use the data given in Virtual Profile?

Let's split the javascript into three different variables:

-----------------------------------------------
Variable 1 -> {
                         document.f.q.value = "
-----------------------------------------------
Variable 2 -> Virtual Profile Data Value
-----------------------------------------------
Variable 3 ->     ";
                         document.f.submit();
                     }
-----------------------------------------------
The second page in the script looks like:

 Attached is the sample script.

Please find attached a zip package containing the presentation, script files and server side files/applications referred to during my KITE Talk. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

It is possible to add multiple variable types in the same field.  Consider an example where we need to check for today's date and some text (Keynote 09/23/2009).  This can be done by clicking on the "Edit" button in the script properties editor and adding more variables.

Attached are a couple of Sample scripts.

Script 1:  Goes to google and searches for Keynote + Today's date
Script 2:  An illustration saying that it can be used for Advanced scripting too.  For detailed data on Script 2, please refer to the topic Tips/Tricks for monitoring Siebel

It basically revolves around the Date() method of Javascript.  Just to give a summary of what the script does:

1.  Get today's date.
2.  For departure date , Add 15 days to the date that is created in the previous step and store it in a variable (ddate).
3.  For Arrival date, Add 18 days to the date that is created in the first step and store it as a separate variable (adate).
4.  Check the following
 if (ddate = 6) //this means if the departure date is a Saturday
 {
  Add two more days to the departure date offset; // selects the next available Monday.
  Add two more days to the arrival date offset and update the variable accordingly adate + 2 days
 }
 else if (ddate = 0) //means if the departure date is Sunday
 {
  Add one more day to the departure date offset; // selects the next available Monday.
  Add one more day to the arrival date offset and update the variable accordingly adate + 2 days
 }
 else
 {
  Dont do anthing as we are on a proper weekday;
 }
 
Store the variables using System.SaveValue() method which is in the Keynote's set of defined API's for Transaction Perspective.  For example, store ddate as "cindate", so that "cindate" can be used as a Global variable through out the script using the "Previously Saved Value" variable type.

5.  Check the weekend logic for Arrival date (adate) too.
