Hi Prashant,

There's really good documentation online for CSS selectors here https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

And you can test your selector by opening dev tools in Chrome, switching to the console tab, and running document.querySelector() function inside it. If it returns your element, then Dynatrace will also find it.

In your case, I would try with input#singlepoint-username

Best regards,

Radu

Hi Radu,

When we check .navTxt>label we get a long answer:

Is there a way get the value of title?

Hi Yos,

I should've mentioned this. There is a long answer because document.querySelector() will return in the console the entire element as it appears in the HTML of the page. However, when Dynatrace extracts a user tag based on the selector, it will always show only the inner text of that element. So, in the example of your screenshot, Dynatrace would get the user tag from that element as "Welcome S140_qa2" (because that's the inner text of that element).

Regards,

Radu
