Get value of DIV,CSS value - WebDriver (Selenium 2) - JAVA

Question

Hi i have this html code:

<div id="idvalue" value="56"></div>

And i want to get the value '56'. How can i do that? I tried this but it returns null.

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.id("idvalue")).getAttribute("value"));

I am using Selenium 2 Please help..

Try System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.id("idvalue")).getText()); — HemChe

That returns what is inside div tag. If i have: <div id="idvalue" value="56">test</div> it returns "test" — Luis Carlos

value is no valid attribute for the div element. You shouldn't be surprised that this does not work...

Yes, but afaik, they need to start with "data-". And even then, I don't know if selenium2 supports that...

did you tried this way

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
Object val=js.executeScript("return document.getElementById('idvalue').getAttribute('value');");

System.out.println("Value attr value: " + val);

output: Value attr value: 56
