A few short questions

Hi,



1. Just use the Log.Message method to post values of the needed properties.

2. All scripting languages provide methods that allow you to check whether a string contains the needed text. See the "Working With Strings" help topic.



3. You can use object or web comparison checkpoints to do this (see the "Object Checkpoints" and "Web Comparison Checkpoints" help topics).

Thanks Jared,  I heard that Object comparison is not a good I idea because it compares all the properties of the object and there are so many in there and if 1 changes the comparison will fail.  Is that a wrong statement?

Also 



 S = "Item #:UAWS

Quantity:10

Price:$138.00"



the text was driven from the innerText properties.  why does it put a red X on line #1 

Also 



 S = "Item #:UAWS

Quantity:10

Price:$138.00"

Hi,



You cannot break string constants to different lines this way. Here's the correct way to do this:

S = "Item #:UAWS\r\n" +

"Quantity:10\r\n" +

"Price:$138.00"

S = "Item #:UAWS" & vbCrLf &_

"Quantity:10" & vbCrLf &_

"Price:$138.00"

Awesome Jared.!!



One more related question:  On the code below "loc1" shall not return '-1'  but it does!!

I did a log message to see what is stored in i.innerText and surprisingly I see the entire object data and proberties rather than just the Value of innerText which is the same as in the string 'S' !!!  secondly even if  InnerText does not contain only the string specifies in 'S',  it still shall not return a '-1'  !     What am i missing here?



Tx

s = "Item #:UAWS\r\n" +

"Quantity:4\r\n" +

"Price:$138.00"

loc1 = i.innerText.search(s);

Hi,



Try using indexOf instead of search (the syntax will be the same, just the method name will change). If indexOf returns -1, try removing newline characters from the 'i.innerText' and 's':

...

s = s.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "");

txt = i.innerText.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "");



if(txt.indexOf(s) > -1) //...

...

Thanks Jared ,  I will try that,    but still the main question remains as to why log.message( Object.innerText) shows the content and properties of the entire object rather then just the contents of innerText?





Thanks

Hi,



The innerText property returns the text located in your object's node in the HTML source of your page. So, it will return all text which is out of HTML tags.

If you need to obtain a value displayed in your object, try using other properties (for example, 'value').
