click image cant use locator src-need fix #181
Description
@rtomac @emanlove when i user click image src=xxx.jpg, there is a error message "ValueError: Element locator with prefix 'src' is not supported".
But the document is "Clicks an image found by locator.
Key attributes for images are `id`, `src` and `alt`. See
`introduction` for details about locating elements."
It means i can use src for locators.
Well, I checked the elementfinder.py in Selenium2Library.locators, and I add one line "'src': self._find_by_default," in init, then it works.
Can you fix this bug in next version? Tks

Thank you for reporting this.
I think the problem here is that you are misunderstanding the documentation.
The key attributes refer to how the locator is used if you do not use a locator prefix.
When you use a locator without a prefix like this:
Click Image foo
Selenium2Library searches using this XPath expression:
//img[(@id='foo' or @name='foo' or @src='foo' or @alt='foo' or @src='foo')]
In other words, without a prefix, the entire locator is matched against the values of the key attributes.
This is explained in the library documentation but it could certainly be clearer.
So you should use Click Image xxx.jpg instead of Click Image src=xxx.jpg
If you want to match only alt or src, you will have to use a different prefix/strategy and not rely on the default strategy.
Do you have any suggestions on how to make the documentation clearer?
