EvaluateXPath Not Working on Firefox or Chrome

Hi All,

I'm using TestComplete 9.0 on 2008 R2 Server. I have a function which extracts the text value of a table cell on a web page if it knows the table ID and text contents of one cell in the desired row. My problem is that it works fine on IE9 but not on Firefox or Chrome. Anyone know why?

I don't think it's my xpath expression as I tested it on Firefox using Firebug and it returned the correct TD cell. The EvaluateXPath function is supposed to return an array but it doesn't do this for Firefox.

My Function is as follows.



Public Function GetTableCellText(strTableID,strRowIdentifier,intCell)

'Assuming you're on the page with the table

Set pg = GetPage

arrCellText = pg.EvaluateXPath("//table[@id='" & strTableID & "']//tr[td//text()[contains(., '" & strRowIdentifier & "')]]/td[" & intCell & "]")

i=0

Do While IsNull(arrCellText) AND (i < 10)

  'Refresh the browser

  Sys.Desktop.Keys "[F5]"

  'Wait for a minute

  aqutils.Delay(60000)

  arrCellText = pg.EvaluateXPath("//table[@id='" & strTableID & "']//tr[td//text()[contains(., '" & strRowIdentifier & "')]]/td[" & intCell & "]")

  i = i + 1

Loop



If Not IsNull(arrCellText) Then

  GetTableCellText = aqString.Trim(strCellText, aqString.stAll)

  Log.Message "GetTableCellText: ID: " & strTableID & ", Cell Text: " & strCellText

Else

  Log.Error "GetTableCellText found no object matching ID: " & strTableID & ", Cell Text: " & strCellText

End If

'Destroy objects

Set pg = Nothing



End Function
