IE vs Chrome

Question

I have written a script optimized for Chrome. Works fine.

I am now attempting adapt the same script for IE11. I understand that I need to change the Sys.Browser variable to match the correct browser...

Sys.Browser("chrome") to Sys.Browser("iexplore")

and

Browsers.Item(btChrome) to Browsers.Item(btIExplorer)

...and I have done that.

However, in some cases, even when the Object Spy says an object maps the same in both, it doesn't find the object in IE. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something that I am overlooking besides simply these settings? I should also add that it's not a problem with all the objects. Some have converted with no issue, but a few have problems and I cannot see any obvious differences.

Can you post the fullname of both items from the object browser?

Chrome:Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("http://qa1.sbxdv.com/").Panel("lpContentOuterWrap").Panel("lpContentWrap").Panel("wndLogin").Panel("wndLoginInner").Panel(1)IE:Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://qa1.sbxdv.com/").Panel("lpContentOuterWrap").Panel("lpContentWrap").Panel("wndLogin").Panel("wndLoginInner").Panel(1)I replace the "Sys.Browser("xxx").Page("http://qa1.sbxdv.com/")" part with a varible "theLink" to differentiate the browser in the script.&nbsp; So it appears as follows in the script:theLink.Panel("lpContentOuterWrap").Panel("lpContentWrap").Panel("wndLogin").Panel("wndLoginInner").Panel(1)For some reason it cannot recognize the "Panel("lpContentOuterWrap")"

Are you setting "theLink" like:var theLink =&nbsp;Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://qa1.sbxdv.com/");orvar theLink = 'Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://qa1.sbxdv.com/")';I can't really see any reason it would fail other than possibly the way you are delcaring your variable. As you say the first child object in the heirarchy "Panel("lpContentOuterWrap")" fails it's probable that "theLink" is not declared properly or does not exist. Provide more code if this isn't the case :).

We had the same need (run tests in 3 different browsers). We created a project variable to keep the browser in use. Something like this:

Project.Variables.browser = "ie"

Project.Variables.browser = "firefox"

Project.Variables.browser = "chrome"

Sys.Browser(Project.Variables.browser). (...)
