Thanks Marsha_R.  

 

Not sure if I understand your comment correctly. That one line of HTML is the one that creates that button.

I just use QuerySelector() to grab the whole line and then apply Click().

 

I use this method to Click() other buttons and it works, just this span button doesn't work :mansad:

You have

Page = Sys.Browser('*').Page("www.myweb.com");
var button = page.QuerySelector("span.searchmode");

and

button.ClickButton();

or 

button.Click();

 but what happens if you do this instead?

Sys.Browser('*').Page(www.myweb.com).QuerySelector("span.searchmode").ClickButton()

 

For troubleshooting, you want to take all the variables out and first see if you can actually click the button.  Then we can see how to plug the variables in.
