How to get inner text of an element in Selenium?

Question

I'm working with a DOM node

<input type = "form-control" type="text" data-bind="textInput: EnterpriseId" disabled autocomplete="off">

How can I get it's value? I'm struggling since element.getText() does not work and return blank.

Any suggestions would be of great help.

Answer 1

try this

     WebElement element= driver.findElement(By.id("id value"));  
     String val=element.getAttribute("innerText")

Answer 2

You can go to your browser -> open developer tools -> inspect element you want to take attribute from -> click Properties-> check if that value is in InnerText

Then do as it is mentioned in above comments:

element_locator.get_attribute('InnerText')

Answer 3

This input tag is disabled, hence element.getText() return blank val. Use element.getAttribute("textContent") instead. Hope this will work.
