I'm working on some tests for an ASP.NET website and have come across something I'd be grateful to have some assistance understanding. On a particular page on the site is a datepicker control (...

Hi Duncan,


Try using the following code snippet:



function test() 

{ 

  var datepicker = Sys.Process("iexplore", 2).Page("http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/").Panel("ui_datepicker_div");

  var prevLink = datepicker.Panel(0).Link(0).TextNode(0); 

  for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) 

  { 

    // I recommend that you obtain this object each time in the loop

    // It seems to me that this object is dynamic

    ShowMessage(datepicker.Panel(0).Panel(0).TextNode(0).innerText); 

    prevLink.FireEvent("onclick"); 

  } 

}



Does this help?


using FireEvent() instead of TC's Click() method is necessary because, after the first click, TC claims that the object has no dimensions; I guess that is maybe related to the main issue.


I failed to reproduce this behavior. The Click method works fine in my script.
