More Help with XPath

I thought I had figured out this XPath thing but appararently not.

 

I'm trying to find the all div tags with the class "dxbButtonSys". A snippet of the browser inspect window is below.

 

I'm using the following code but can seem to find it. I've inspected the innerHTML to confirm the 'section' is contains the div.

 

What am I doing wrong???

 

    section = Sys.Browser().Page("*").Panel("primaryWrapper").Section("primaryContent").Nav("contentNav").Panel("mainNav").Panel("cplMainMenu").Panel("pcNavigation").Panel("pcNavigation_CC").Panel("pcNavigation_C3").Panel(0).Article(0);
    arr = section.EvaluateXPath("//div[@class='dxbButtonSys']", true);
    
    if(arr != null)
      return false;

    In JScript, you need to convert arrays returned by EvaluateXPath/QuerySelectorAll/FindAllChildren/etc methods to the JScript array format:

     

    arr = section.EvaluateXPath("//div[@class='dxbButtonSys']", true);
if (arr != null) {
  arr = (new VBArray(arr)).toArray();
  Log.Message(arr.length);
}
    else {
      Log.Message("Not found");
    }

    Although all the elements of 'arr' are 'undefined' this works for my purposes of determining if any div exists with class 'dxbButtonSys'.

     

    Anyone see a problem with this?

     

     

        section = Sys.Browser().Page("*").Panel("primaryWrapper").Section("primaryContent").Nav("contentNav").Panel("mainNav").Panel("cplMainMenu").Panel("pcNavigation").Panel("pcNavigation_CC").Panel("pcNavigation_C3").Panel(0).Article(0);
    arr = section.EvaluateXPath("//div[contains(@class, 'dxbButtonSys')]");
    if(arr != null)
      return false;

      I recently had to find labels on a page that is visible only and made the following function.

       

      Example usage:  VerifyVisibleLabel("Surname")

       

       

      function VerifyVisibleLabel(labelName) {
	try {
		var page = Sys.Browser("*").Page("*");
		page.Wait();

		var labels = page.FindAllChildren("nodeName", "LABEL", 50);
		var labelFound = false;

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

		if (labels.length > 0) {
			for (i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
				if (labels[i].contentText == labelName && labels[i].Visible == true) {
					Log.Message("Label found - FullName: " + labels[i].contentText);
					labelFound = true;
				}
			}
		}
		if (labelFound == false) {
			GenError("Label not found: " + labelName)
		}
	} catch (exception) {
		GenError("custom error message here...")
		return false
	}
}
