    Hi Josette,


     


    I guess you are using the Tree model in your project, right? This model doesn't show hidden elements in the object structure. So, it's impossible to call the methods you used to get the object. You need to use the EvaluateXPath or FindChildByXPath method to find elements by the values of the element’s attributes on the HTML page.


    For example:




      var page = //obtain the page


     


      // Call the function


      var tmp = page.EvaluateXPath("//INPUT[@name='NumberOfSeats']");


     


      // Check the result 


      if (tmp != null)


      {


        // If the element was found, convert the array to the JScript-compatible format


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


        // do what you want with the element


        


      }


      else


      { 


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


      }
