I do not understand why my DP is not working. So obvious! - chong67 - 06-22-2012

This is my DP:

Code:
Browser("name:=Delta - Book a flight").Page("title:=Delta - Book a flight").WebEdit("name:=departureCity[0]", "html id:=departureCity_0").Set "ATL"

This is what is recorded by QTP10:

Code:
Browser("Delta - Book a flight").Page("Delta - Book a flight").WebEdit("departureCity[0]").Set "ATL"

Error msg says "cannot identify the object "[WebEdit]" .... etc See screenshot

See my two attachments.

This is very frustrating! I dont know what I am doing wrong.

Please help.

Use escape sequence where ever a special character occurs while writing a DP code for your object to be identified properly.So lets correct your code as shown below.

Code:
Browser("name:=Delta - Book a flight").Page("title:=Delta - Book a flight").WebEdit("name:=departureCity\[0\]", "html id:=departureCity_0").Set "ATL"

This will identify and set the value "ALT" in the webedit mentioned.
