Selenium, PHPUnit: when I try get style attribute I get empty result instead of value

Question

I met a problem when I wanted to get style attribute of element.

$styleValue = $this->getAttribute("//ul@style");

But result of var_dump($styleValue) is

string(1) ";"

But I expected "margin-left: -2432px;" So, where am I wrong? How can I get style attribute of element?

it's only an example. I have another xpath that return only one ul element. — repress

Your XPath expression is wrong. If you want to read the @style attribute of the <ul/> tag, you have to use two step expressions: stepping into the list, then into the attribute. Each must be seperated using a /, the @ only denominates an attribute.

//ul/@style

"Does not work" is not an error description that helps. Read the FAQ and about how to post an SSCCE.

Sorry about that. I tried this but have the same issue: string(1) ";"

This still does not provide a sufficient error description (also the question posted above doesn't). Nobody will be able to help you as it is, without being able to reproduce the issue and/or knowing the input.
