Test Passed - but a cell in <TFOOT> was clicked instead

Good afternoon,   How do I correct this error?  The test output does NOT produce additional information because the test passed - it says the Window was clicked with the left mouse button, however ...

    I can't see the line in the test that clicked the window, but from seeing some of your code in other posts, I suspect it is clicking on (x,y) coordinates rather than an actual object.  Can you confirm this for me?

Good news, Marsha.  I changed it to Click on (-1,-1) of the object.  It runs fine now. 

 

Is that what you were telling me to do?

 

Thanks,

Arlene

Well, I'm glad it works now, but what I was going to tell you is not to rely on x,y coordinates for clicking on things.  As soon as you move to another machine or browser or screen, the window will move around and your test will break.

 

The best way is to find the object by name rather than location.  Have you done any name mapping yet?
