Here is a set of basic web page operations that work at the native level.  I am just posting the clickLink and changeTextBox function that I have written as well as the supporting functions. These are written in jScript and work in Firefox and IE.  You may want to enhance/remove/change how I get my browser processes.



Using the supporting functions you can write other page operations such as changing a textbox or whatever. I've found that I had to write functions at the native level because of the number of controls on the  web pages I have been testing just takes TC too long and causes IE to consume too much memory (silly IE) when using TC's builtin functions.





function clickLink(linkText)

{

  

  var linkObject;

  var window = getBrowserWindow();

  var page = window.Page("*");

  page.Wait()

  page.Refresh()

  

  var linkObj = getElement("A","innerText",linkText);

  if(linkObj != null){

  clickObj(page, linkObj);

  

  Log.Event("Found and Clicked a link with the text of: '" + linkText + "'");

  }

  else {

  Log.Error("I could not find a link with the text of: '" + linkText + "'");

  }  

}




function changeTextbox(textboxName, text)

{

  var inputObject;

  var window = getBrowserWindow();

  var page = window.Page("*");

  //get the textbox by name.

  var inputObject = getElement("INPUT","name",textboxName)

  /*Only try to modify the texdtbox if the textbox was returned 

    if it was not returned, then log an error. */

  if(inputObject != null){

  //set the Textbox value to text

  inputObject.value=text

  try {

  inputObject.onChange()

  }

  catch (exception){

  }

  Log.Event("Changed Textbox '" + textboxName + "' to '" + text + "'")

  }




  else {

  Log.Error("Could not find an INPUT named '"+textboxName+ "'")

  }

    

}














function getBrowserType()




{

  var process, window;

  process = Sys.WaitProcess("iexplore", 500);

  if (process.Exists){

     window = process.Window("IEFrame", "*");

     if (window.WaitWindow("Shell DocObject View").Exists)

      return "IE6";

     else

      if (window.WaitWindow("TabWindowClass").Exists)

        return "IE7";

      else

    return "";

  }




  process = Sys.WaitProcess("firefox", 500);

  if (process.Exists){

    return "FireFox";

  }

  return "";

}

 




function getBrowserWindow()

{

  var browserName;

  browserName = getBrowserType();

  switch(browserName)

  {

    case "IE6":

      return Sys.Process("IEXPLORE").Window("IEFrame", "*", 1).Window("Shell DocObject View", "", 1).Window("Internet Explorer_Server", "", 1);

    case "IE7":

      return Sys.Process("iexplore").Window("IEFrame", "*", 1).Window("TabWindowClass","*", 1).Window("Shell DocObject View", "", 1).Window("Internet Explorer_Server","", 1);

    case "FireFox":

      return Sys.Process("firefox").Window("MozillaUIWindowClass", "*", 1).Window("MozillaWindowClass","", 1).Window("MozillaWindowClass", "", 3).Window("MozillaWindowClass", "",1).Window("MozillaContentWindowClass", "", 1).Window("MozillaWindowClass","", 1);

    case "":

      return Utils.CreateStubObject();

  }

}
