This is what the script code looks like for your scenario,

 

function HighlightButtons()
{
    // URL: https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_buttons.asp
    var btn1 = 'Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_buttons.asp").Panel("belowtopnav").Panel(0).Panel("main").Button(0)';
    var btn2 = "Aliases.panelMain.buttonDanger";
    var btn3 = "Aliases.panelMain.buttonDefault";
    var btn4 = "Aliases.panelMain.buttonInfo";
    var btn5 = "Aliases.panelMain.buttonLink";
    
    Sys.HighlightObject(btn1); // Error: Type mismatch.    
    Sys.HighlightObject(eval(btn1));
    Sys.HighlightObject(eval(btn5));
}

 

Whether using the full name (btn1) or the alias name (btn5), using eval function evaluates JavaScript code represented as a string and returns its completion value. The source is parsed as a script.

 

Notice that the first Sys.HighlightObject throws an error.
