Silk Test Classic Recognizes Static HTML Text But Does Not Recognize Text

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

Problem

While using Internet Explorer, Silk Test Classic recognizes static HTML text and tables on a page, but does not recognize text such as HTML fields or HTML buttons.

Cause

You might have nested <form> tags improperly, like the following sample shows:

<table>
...
<form>
</table>
<table>
...
</table>
</form>

In the example above, Silk Test Classic does not recognize the second table.

Solution

There are two options:

Check that your HTML tags are properly nested
<table>
...
</table>
<form>
<table>
...
</table>
</form>

or

<form>
<table>
...
</table>
<table>
</table>
</form>
Set the table recognition value to 0
This means that Silk Test Classic ignores the table and cell, but it will recognize the other input elements.
