If code for element exists results in failure

Hello, I am trying to do following code:

if Aliases.browser.Page("https://devtradewatch/tradewatch/Orders/viewOrdList.do",.FindElement("#colTD_0").Exists:
    Log.Message("Records are available, ntmOrders Search Passed")
  else:
    Log.Message("Records are not displayed, NTM Orders Failed")

Functionally it works correctly but whenever it does not find the element, it logs The object "Page("https://devtradewatch/tradewatch/Orders/viewOrdList.do")" does not exist" error in log.

How do I make it to not log it logs as all I am concerned with is using the following commands

Object Recognition

    Thank you for the suggestion. That would definitely help me for better representation of code and understanding as well.

    I could make it work by using WaitElement instead of FindElement.

    Thanks!

    I suggest you breakdown your lines of code into something simple that you can understand, e.g.

    var page = Aliases.browser.Page("https://devtradewatch/tradewatch/Orders/viewOrdList.do");
var element = page.FindElement("#colTD_0");
if (element.Exists) {
	// Do something
} else {
	// Do something else
}

    Then check where the error is occurring.

    If Aliases.browser.Page() is throwing an error, then are you using the correct browser? Does the URL actually exists in the browser?

        If Aliases.browser.Page() is throwing an error, then WaitElement() will not work either.
