    Hi Jack,

     

    I’m not sure. However, can you check if the following script works for you?

    var obj = // obtain the path to the emailIconBar object;
 
//find the html element
var obj = page.FindChildByXPath("//SPAN[@class='DocumentSelect hide']", false);
 
// Check the result
if (obj != null)
{
   // If the element was found, click it
   obj.Click();
}
else
   Log.Error("The element was not found.");

     

    I’m referring to the HTML source of the page and looking for the hidden HTML object. Please read the "Finding Web Objects Using XPath Expressions" (http://smartbear.com/viewarticle/62117/ ) help topic for details.

    Tanya,

    This works perfectly in IE, FF, and Chrome.  Thanks!

     

    Edit:  Well, almost perfectly.  The "Click" method doesn't exist for the hidden object in Chrome or FF.  I still had to draw the rectangle around the object and click inside the rectangle.
