title: Using Value obtained with Get Value
body: <p>I am very new to using Robot Framework, and I am using the RIDE development environment. I am trying to obtain a value from an element on a website, and then set a variable with that value. The keyword Get Value only accepts one argument from what I can see, and I cannot find any documentation explaining how to do this. This question is similar to another <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38195935/want-to-fetch-value-of-an-attribute-in-robot-framework">SO question</a> but I am unclear on how to assign this data to a variable.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>--edit--</p>
  
  <p>here is the element that i am trying to obtain data from:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="highlight-box animate ng-binding" animate-change="master.user.balance.toFixed(2)" id="header-balance"&gt;
          0.00
      &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried setting the variable like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>@{balance}    get value   header-balance</code> </p>
  
  <p>as suggested, and it didnt throw any errors, but then when I tried to use the variable with an input text:</p>
  
  <p><code>input text    Textbox-1   @{balance}</code> </p>
  
  <p>it threw an error saying that input text requires two arguments. I took this to mean that the variable did not contain anything, regardless of being set in the last line.</p>
