Get Element Attributes
Description
Get Element Attributes retrieves the value of one or more HTML attributes or CSS properties from a web element at runtime. Use this step when your Web GUI [Classic] workflow needs to inspect an element's visual or structural properties — such as background color, font name, or any other attribute — to validate state or make decisions during automation. You can capture multiple properties in a single step by adding rows to the attributes table, with each result stored in its own output field. The step also provides an Active Element checkbox to capture attributes from the currently focused element without specifying criteria.
