I’ve been quietly releasing some minor bugfixes for UI-Element. The release today adds a keys() method intended to simplify defining defaultValues for UI-Elements. It returns the keys of an object as a list of strings.

Also, elements defined with a leading underscore will not be considered as bona fide UI elements. This is to facilitate usage of locally “scoped” variables within the UI-Element definitions. For example:

// the regexp for the current pageset
var storePages = 'store/.*';

// define variable specific to the UI elements for this
// pageset
myMap[storePages]._labelMap = {
    'Shipping Info': 'shipinfo.php'
    , 'FAQ':         'faq.php'
    , 'Returns':     'returns.php'
    , 'Contact':     'custserv.php'
};

myMap[storePages]['sidebar_link'] = {
    description: 'sidebar link to a section of the store',
    args: [
        {
            name: 'label',
            description: 'the label of the link',
            defaultValues: keys(myMap[storePages]._labelMap)
        }
    ],
    getXPath: function(args) {
        var label = args['label'];
        label = myMap[storePages]._labelMap[label];
        return "//ul[@id='sidebar']/descendant::a" +
            "[contains(@href, '" + label + "')]";
    }
};

I’m also making the test package available. It contains the Selenium IDE unit tests. Download links:
