Object Name changes every time - chandan.maxgit1000 - 03-24-2010

Hi,

I have one webpage,having number of checkboxes, and their name changes every time I open this webpage.

I need to set one particular checkbox.

Can any one help me out of this.

use DP to search for the text of the checkbox to set, then the name won't matter.

Code:
Dim chkobj

Set chkobj= Description.Create()

chkobj("html tag").Value = "input"

chkobj("type").Value = "checkbox"

chkobj("text").Value =  "" 'text you need here...removing this will return all checkboxes on a page as an array that you can loop through below.

dim myobjs

set myobjs = Browser("Browser").Page("Page").ChildObjects(chkobj)

myobjs.set "ON"  'change to myobjs(id).Set "ON" if returning an array of objects.

the above code might not be perfect. I have 5 or 6 functions in a framework that combine functionality to return arrays of objects from the pages and then make decisions on which one I am looking for based on multiple critieria, so I had to strip all that down into this simple code. Hope this helps and points you in the right direction.
