# Get Element Tag Value

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured element. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to fetch the HTML tag name of the captured element from the application. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## Syntax

**Input Value**: `N/A`

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

| Argument                                 | Description                                                            |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>\<Dynamic Variable><br>(Optional)</p> | This dynamic variable stores the retrieved tag value from the element. |
| <p>\<Dynamic Variable><br>(Optional)</p> | This dynamic variable stores the status as **True** or **False**.      |

### **Example: Retrieving the HTML Tag Value of a Captured Element**

In this example, we are explaining how to fetch the HTML tag name of a captured UI element within the application.

* **Action**: Get Element Tag Value
* **Input Value**: N/A
* This action does not require any input value. It identifies the tag type (e.g., input, div, button) of the captured element.
* **Output Value**: {tagName}
  * The extracted tag value (input) is stored in the **{tagName}** dynamic variable.
  * If a second output variable is defined, it stores the action status with the following possible values:
    * **True:** If the tag name is retrieved successfully.
    * **False:** If the tag name is not retrieved.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Get Element Tag Value** action retrieves the tag information of the captured UI element without requiring any input value. The action inspects the element in the application, extracts its HTML tag (input), and stores it in the **{tagName}** variable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/web/common-web-operations/get-element-tag-value.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
