Migration Jscript to JavaScript and contentDocument.Script

[stm]

Hi,
I'am trying to migrate an existing Project from Jscript to Javascript and I've read the instructions for migration
https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/javascript-for-jscript-users.htm....

Migration self works fine except one strange problem with Internet-Explorer:
The testscript calls custom javascript with page.contentDocument.Script, this works in Chrome and Firefox
In Internet-Explorer I get an error with TypeError: Cannot read property <Javascript-Funktion-Name> of undefined

In Jscript the function call works without any problem. What can be wrong?
Before posting I'v tried several things without sucess.

greetings

It would be helpful to see the actual code that you are attempting to execute.  That will help us debug better.

In the meantime, in your conversion, take a look at https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/javascript-for-jscript-users.htm... There may be additional things you need to change in order for your code to work.

Hi,

thanks for the quick response - following code is executed:

The PageObject is fetched this way (browser and url are variables)
page = Sys.Browser(browser).Page(url);

The custom javascript call
pageready = page.contentDocument.Script.$.cs.canChangePage();

The bold marked text is the custom function. I am not shure if it matters, at debugging I found out
that firefox and chrome have a contentDocument.Script, Internet-Explorer has no Script.

Hi,

well I've spend about 4 hour in debug and try to get the code running for Internet-Explorer. I've read and checked
https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/javascript-for-jscript-users.htm...
https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/javascript.html
https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/language/javascript/get-method.html

The result is still the same. I've a backup of the old project and I'm thinking to step back to Jscript.
Is there anything else I could try?

In Internet Explorer, it's contentDocument.scripts instead of contentDocument.Script  So, you'll need to add conditional logic to your test case to detect what browser so it will execute appropriately.

Hi,

after reading this page https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/general/common-tasks/javascript.html once again I found the solution. The importand part in the lineked page is "Executing Application-Defined Script Functions"
I've addet the eval an then it worked in Internet-Explorer (and still in Chrome and Firefox)
