How to open a File Select Window by Run JavaScript function on web page Action in PAD.

Hi community.

I want to open a File Select Window by "Run JavaScript function on web page" Action in PAD.

If run a code on Browser Console, it worked.

But, run JavaScript Action in PAD, it didn't work.

 

e.g.

Browser : Google Chrome

page : https://www.bing.com/?scope=images

code : document.getElementById("sb_brtext").click();

    Probably span requires jquery and not sure whether or not jquery is supportable in the "run javascript on webpage" action.

    You can try other options like byClassName etc. but if it is still not working then its possible via the recorder.
