How to select each tab without knowing the url or tab title?

I have an IE browser opened which have 5 tabs.  The current selected tab is the last one (tab 5).  I want to jump to tab 2 without knowing the url.

    I would never want to suggest Tanya wasn't right - she's way smarter with TC than me -  but I think a slight tweak to her code is required... I think her code in its current state is trying to click an entire array of tabs in a single click - while what you are looking to do is click the "nth" tab. With that in mind, blatantly stealing Tanya's code(!), and remembering arrays start at the 0th element:




    function ClickTabByNo(TabIndex) // Specify Tab Index as 1-5 "human form"


     


    {


     


      var tabPanel = Sys.Browser("iexplore").BrowserWindow(0).CommandBar.TabBand;


     


      var tabs = tabPanel.FindAll("ObjectType","TabButton");


     


      tabs = (new VBArray(tabs)).toArray();


     


      tabs[TabIndex - 1].Click();


     


    }

Hi Murugan,


 


The cause of the issue may be related to this line:


Set tabs = tabPanel.FindAll("TabStripWndClass","All")


 


The second parameter of the FindAll method should be the value of the property specified as the first parameter. It's unlikely that the value of TabStripWndClass will be All. Please check this in the Object Browser.
