what is the get_eval equivalent for selenium webdriver in python

Question

The following works fine in selenium-1:

sel = self.selenium 
sel.get_eval("window.$('body form div ul li').html()")

When I try to the same in selenium-2 webdriver in python, I get a error.

wd = webdriver.Firefox()
wd.execute_script("window.$('body form div ul li').html()")

selenium.webdriver.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: window.$ is not a function

How can get that jquery to work in webdriver in python?

Answer 1

In selenium1 get_eval() evaluates a script and returns the result.

When you use execute_script() you have to explicitly return the value in which you are interested.
