I m searching for the Table Object with this Id  id=AC67655C-39ED-4db9-9A69-A76F7AD3F3FA



I used a piece of code that i found on your help :

the html page is well loaded into chrome the problem is on the Find object in debug mode i have a clear message that the object doesnt exist .





function testdrop()

{

var url = "file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/test.html";

// Using Find

Browsers.Item(btChrome).Run(url);

var page = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page(url);

// Using the Find method

var table = page.NativeWebObject.Find("idStr", "AC67655C-39ED-4db9-9A69-A76F7AD3F3FA



");

// Checks if the button exists

if (table.Exists)

  log.message("the object has been found")

else

 log.message ("the object is not found ")

}



would you know what i need to change to have it works

thanks a lot

    Hi Tayssir,


     


    As you want to get the object by its HTML tag, I would suggest that you use the EvaluateXPath method.


    In this case, the script will look like this:



     


    function Test()


    {


      ...


      var page = Sys.Browser("*").Page("*");


     


      var tmp = page.EvaluateXPath("//TABLE[@id='AC67655C-39ED-4db9-9A69-A76F7AD3F3FA']");


      if (tmp != null)


      {


        // If the element was found,


        // convert the array to the JScript-compatible format


        var arr = (new VBArray(tmp)).toArray();


        // and simulate a click


        arr[0].Click(); // Note we refer to the array item


      }


      else


      { 


        // If the element was not found, post a message to the log


        Log.Error("The element was not found.");


      }


    }
