How to Map a JS Element

Your screen capture with "Object does not exist" refers to an Alias? Which would imply you already have a mapped object for it ... which doesn't work properly?

In which case, can you delete the current mapped object (which doesn't work - so no loss).

Then do a CTRL + SHIFT + A object spy (make sure you spy it, not map it - although I'm not sure it should make a difference) on it again. This should capture the properties at the point you map it. Even if it vanishes after that, you should still have the properties that were present when you spied it.

Don't try and drill down within any of the properties, that will probably cause it to lose/clear the object.

Do that, and then post the properties here.

I'm thinking you could .....

1. Simply put it in a double loop as soon as you activate whatever triggers it. One (very fast repeating) loop until it spots it. Then a second loop that waits for it to go.

2. Identify it by something simple such as classname (assuming there are no other elements in the DOM of the same class).

3. If using 1 &2, I would probably do all this dynamically and not map it.

4. If you *really* need to map it, your best bet is likely the caption (if it's text) or the image file name (if it's an image and the filename is exposed in the properties somewhere).

Without the element to look at ourselves, it's tricky to say.

Not sure that I got your concern... Maybe I was not clear enough. Pseudo-code algorithm is like this:

-- Enter the page/tab you need;

-- Identify the table;

-- Get the current number of records in the table (iPrevNoOfRecords);

-- Get current time (startTime);

-- Enter the loop;

-- Wait 0.5 sec (or more as appropriate to get a stable code but not to wait too much);

-- Get the current number of records in the table (iCurNoOfRecords). If the number is greater than iPrevNoOfRecords then update iPrevNoOfRecords with the new value;

-- Get current time (currTime);

-- Exit the loop if either iPrevNoOfRecords == iCurNoOfRecords or the timeout (currTime -  startTime) is elapsed. Otherwise continue the loop;

-- Depending on whether the loop was exited because no new record was added to the table or timeout elapsed, continue with the test (former case) or log an error/warning that the table was not populated with data within (timeout) interval (the latter case).

Works reliably for me in several web projects.
