Do you have any idea or clue how to get this

What are you trying to achieve by getting that?

I don’t understand what it means.

What precisely are you looking for in that <div> element? An attribute?

What if I told you that you could get that attribute, in xpath, like this:

//div[@id = 'dm-logo']/@style

?

DISCLAIMER: I picked style attribute because that’s the only one I saw on that div… Replace it with the attribute you wish to target.

Better yet, you could just use WebUI.getAttribute(yourDivObject, 'style')…

Firstly, outerHTML and innerHTML are properties of a web element present in the DOM – they are not attributes.

You cannot get properties on an element using XPATH.

You will struggle to get properties of any element using Katalon/Selenium (with the exception of the value property, but that’s another story I don’t care to go into – again).

@minh Your only choice is to use JavaScript.

document.querySelector('#dm-logo').outerHTML;

You can test that in the DevTools console.

Now in Groovy:

String js = "return document.querySelector('#dm-logo').outerHTML;")
String html = WebUI.executeJavaScript(js, null)
