Clicking on folder expand icon on web page to show sub-folders

Hi, I am trying to click on the '+' icon adjacent to 'Demo' folder and expand the sub-folders underneath it. I used the code like this but it expands some other folder everytime I run this ...

Hi,



 
 As I said they may differ by several pixels, and can be not exactly on the same level. That's why I supposed that your icon's "Top" property differs from the necessary folder's "Top" property not more than by 5 pixels. Check this in your object browser, it may appear to be that its just one pixel. 
    


   
 What exactly you did not understand in the code? I added some comments below



//obtaining your "demo" folder

a = page.NAtiveWebObject.Find("outerText","demo");



//getting all plus.gif icons under "demo" folder's parent object, the result will be array of objects

icons = a.parent.FindAll("namePropStr","plus.gif", 1);

//converting this array to JScript array

icons = VBArray(icons).toArray();



//iterating through all array elements

for (var i=0; i<icons.length; i++)

{

// checking each element, if its Top value equal to "demo" folder's Top value +-5 pixels then its the icon you need

if ((icons.Top>a.Top-5)&&(icons.Top<a.Top+5))

{icon = icons; break}

}



icon.Click();
