Good evening, everyone,

I am trying to get any element to highlight using the _WD_HighlightElements function; I've tried different elements and for a time I thought maybe because I am working in Windows 11 so I switched back to Windows 10 same issue; I can't get the found element to highlight. What am I doing incorrectly?

Console Output

_WD_FindElement: {"value":{"element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf":"0e212d4f-8437-42a0-a56a-bc8694fe6e66"}}

Thank you for your time on this,

I tweaked your script, but it works as expected for me. Here's the revised code --

Your console output should look similar to this --

Above is the output console; I am not seeing the highlight around the search box.

This is back on the Windows 11 laptop; if that matters.

Thank you,

You are using old WD UDF version

That is very outdated. Please update as requested by @mLipok. However, I wouldn't recommend using the link he provided because that that would include code that hasn't be officially released. You can always find the latest "released" code at https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/releases/latest.

Thank you both. That is exactly what the problem was. It's always the simple things..
