Object Browser shows Firefox entries out of sequence.

We are using TC8, windows 7, IE8 and Firefox 3.6.8.



IE8 TC Object Browser show entries like the Panel, TextNode, and Links in sequencial order.

Firefox TC Object Browser the entries are in random order.

See attached for side by side comparisons.



Is there a fix for this?

  • Hi Gene,


    This is due to differences in the implementation of support for these browsers.


    Do you face any problems due to this fact?

    Hi Allen,



    Yes it does cause us problems.  The attachment shows a side by side from the Object Browser.


    Here’s basically how we use this.


        listOfTextNode = Findall TextNode in Panel(“SPFilteredPublishers”)



        For each textNode


            Log textNode innerText.


            listOfLinks = Findall Links in textNode.


            For each link


                Log link innerText


            Next


        Next


    The log would look something like this using IE8.


            Text from TextNode(0)


                Text from Link(0)


            Text from TextNode(1)


                Text from Link(0)


                Text from Link(1)


                Text from Link(2)


                Text from Link(3)


                Text from Link(4)


    This shows that we have grouped the correct links under the correct textnodes.


     

    Firefox doesn’t show what links are grouped with textnodes.

    Here’s another comparison.


    In this example using firefox, the panel numbers are in sequence but Panel(0) is missing.  The information need for processing is in Panel(2).  The next time this test is run will it be in Panel(2)?

  • Hi Gene,


    The fact that

    Firefox TC Object Browser the entries are in random order.


    is not the cause of the behavior you describe:



    This shows that we have grouped the correct links under the correct textnodes.
