Test Complete 8.7 is not picking up the text object correctly

Testing ie 9 on windows 7.

Back end developement done using DRUPAL.



I have a website i am trying to automate. I tried using regions checkpoint to simply show that page containing the confirmation message.  That didnt work, the pixels and colors changed everytime i used it. So scratch that.



I then decided to try using object spy to pick up that text, and it will change since we use that area for error messages as well.



Confirmation message: 

"Further instructions have been sent to your e-mail address."






SO I added that code to my program  what actually displayed was this:

when I replayed this section, got the following instead:



Value of x1 is:  Username: *

Enter your Instructions For Use Documentation username.

 

Password: *

Enter the password that accompanies your username.

  11:00:16 Normal  



Please see the attachment showing the object spy as well



Hopefully there is a simple solution

When you download the document. Change the extension back to .doc

    Hello Steven,

    Your approach to get the confirmation message text seems to be correct. I suppose that the reason for the misbehavior was that the Aliases.iexplore.OrderHistory.panelWrapper.panelContent.panelContentMiddle1 mapped name was later reassociated with another object.

    Try addressing the needed object by its full name instead. The object's full name is shown in the Object Browser and Object Spy as the FullName property.





    Regards.
