This question was asked by Suresh in the comments field.
I am recording using QTP and for some reason QTP does not recognize any upload buttons. For example, start the recording at this site: http://cgi-lib.berkeley.edu/ex/fup.html
Click on the "Browse" button. Notice this click is not recognized by QTP. Please provide some feedback why QTP is not able to recognize this button. Thanks
This is an interesting question and not a typical object identification issue. I thought I will take it up on the blog to make it available to the wider audience.
If you go on the link mentioned above, you will see QTP is not able to record the click on Browse web button. Web buttons are generally associated with input type=submit object but if you see the source of the browse button, you will notice input type=file object.
Now According to Microsoft help, input type=file object creates a file upload object with a text box AND Browse button. Notice the AND. So, in case of input type=file, the text box and browse button are considered part of ONE object. There are no separate objects for QTP to identify.
What can we do to solve this issue?
Enter Web Event Recording Configuration.
- Object Spy on the text box/ browse button object reveals that it is a WebFile type Object.
- Using Tools > Web Event Recording Configuration, go to WebFile (under Web Objects tree). Add onclick event.
- Set the onclick event settings to Always. Click ‘OK’.
- Done!. Record the click on browse button, now QTP should be able to identify the click on the button.

Set oWebFile = Browser(“Home | Morgan Stanley”).Page(“Submit Edit Reference”).WebFile(“upload_file_text_box_Browse”)

y = oWebFile.Object.clientWidth – 5
oWebFile.Click x,y

hi
some objects like drop down list “select” is not identified by QTP
Hi Ankur,
I have one doubt.If we will record making the necessary changes you have mentioned,can we run this script on another machine where QTP does not have the similar set up for web event identification.
If yes then fine,
If now can you plz give a generalise solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance
This is simliar to my situation, only I am getting an Adobe error when trying to run or record a script with Flex 3 objects…The error is “Adobe Flex 3 Plug-in for Mercury Quick Test Pro could not find the Flash Player within the HTML page. This can occur when the value of the OBJECT tag’s id attribute is missing or contains a period or dash.” When this error occurs, it precludes QTP’s ability to recognize (and thus, record) any Flex objects. A reinstall of QTP and the Adobe Flash Player 10, Flex builder 3 and Flex 3 Plug-in for QTP did not fix this issue. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. steve@totalqualityphoto.com
@Steve: So did you check for period or dash in the ‘id’ attribute in OBJECT tag? I’m sure you already know how to find it, but just in case, you can find it by going to View > Source … For more info on Object tags check this article from W3C Schools

Nice posting
I am facing different issue. In my testing application, when we click on image button QTP can not identify any object, not even browser. (after clicking image button another windows opens which has same browser name as previous by calling ajax action methods)
I found work around as click on back of browser and then click on forward button of browser. Then QTP is able to understand all objects. Do not know is it application problem or QTP?
Please comment on this. Thanks!
