WaitChild does not appear to recognise when a Link object appears in a webpage

The problem may not be in the wait child for the link, but in the panel that the link is a child of.  Something to look at is whether or not that panel exists prior to logging in. 

Thanks for your response.



I did think of that, so tried running this code:

Set
logoutLink =
Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).WaitChild("Panel(1)",
1000)

Set
logoutLink =
Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).WaitChild("Link(2)",
1000)



However the code only fails on the second line (the new Link(2) object), so that does not appear to be the problem

Hi Jonathan,





Try using the 'WaitLink' method:

Set logoutLink = Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).WaitLink(2, 10000)





Please see the 'Additional Methods Used to Obtain Web Pages Elements' section of the Working With Web Page Elements help topic.

Hi David,



Thanks for your response.



I had previously tried the WaitLink method but did not realise that I could specify my link using an index. Using the link name does not work, but using an index, as you suggest, did work. So thanks very much for your help!
