This block gets or sets the value of the specified attribute from the element.

Note

This block will not work without an active tab. Because of that, use the Active Tab block or New Tab block before using this block.

Below is a screenshot of the block settings.

The block has two modes of operation: CSS Selector or XPatch. In the first mode, the block must receive a css selector of the page element for its operation. In the second mode, the block receives the Xpath of the element. To get a selector, you can use the Element selector tool of the Goless extension.

* Settings of the **Selector options** group:

1. **Multiple.** Multiple element selection.
2. **Mark element.** The item will not be selected if it was selected earlier.
3. **Wait for selector.** Wait for the selector to be received. When you select this element, you can enter the timeout of the selector.

The Action setting has two modes:

* **Get attribute value.** Allows you to get the attribute value.
* **Set attribute value.** Allows you to record the value of an attribute.

Below is a screenshot of the Get attribute value mode:

* **Insert to table.** The resulting attribute value is inserted into the column of the table you selected.
* **Add extra row.** An arbitrary row is added to the table in the column of the table you have selected.

In the Goless extension, we will find a tool for obtaining the element selector of a site page element.

Let's select a page element and get a selector. In the screenshot below, the attribute of the element selector is highlighted on the Attributes tab. The arrow points to the attribute value, the attribute name is signed in the upper left corner.
