Regarding the NativeWebObject function to Find Elements in Web pages

Dear All,

NativeWebObject.Find() doesn't work (the web page is not found despite I open the page on the explorer before starting the playback)



Kindly find attached log screen shot



This is my Script

Sub NativeFindElement


    Dim PageObj


    Dim ProductLink


    Set PageObj=Sys.Process("iexplore").Page("http://www.automatedqa.com/")


    Set ProductLink=PageObj.NativeWebObject.Find("title","Products","A")


    If ProductLink.Exists Then


    Log.Message("ProductLink")


End If


 



End Sub



Your help is highly appreciated

Thanks

    Hi Pakinam,



    It looks like you are using Internet Explorer 8. By default, this browser launches a new process per each tab, and your Page object seems to be present in the processes with different indexes (currently, you refer to the process with index 1 by default). You can make Internet Explorer launch only one process. To do this, in the system registry, search for the TabProcGrowth value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main key (if it is not present, add the value of the string type) and set it equal to zero.



    For more informaton, refer to the MSDN Blogs record.



    If this does not help or the Internet Explorer version differs, refer to the Handling the 'Object Not Found' Errors help topic. 



    Please let us know whether these suggestions help.
