search for text (span) on webpage

[BigDuy01]

I'm trying to search for 

<span class="error-server-side" >

I tried using 

obj = page["NativeWebObject"]["Find"]("contentText", "*error-server*");

but it never finds it.  

I tried using the example from the help page below but it doesn't work.

Any help would be great.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi,

First of all "error-server-side" is not the value of the contentText property, it's a name of the class.

If you want to find this element, use:

page.Find("className", "*error-server*", 10); /* 10 - is the value of the depth 
                                                 for searching the element 
                                                 in the object's tree */

Thanks for helping!!!

Works for me.  Try experimenting only with Find() and strip out everything else.

function Test2()
{
  var browser;
  var page;
  var obj;
  Browsers["Item"](btFirefox)["Navigate"]("https://community.smartbear.com/nwkab66374/attachments/nwkab66374/Functional_Web_Testing/28191/1/test.html");
  browser = Sys["Browser"]();
  page = browser["Page"]("https://community.smartbear.com/nwkab66374/attachments/nwkab66374/Functional_Web_Testing/28191/1/test.html");
  obj = page["Find"]("className", "*error-server*", 10);
  Log["Message"](obj["Exists"]);
}
