Link object not getting identified - yogesh kancherla - 10-13-2012

hi, I want to identify a link object whose property values change at runtime.
Below is the link how it looks:

Hi if there are more than one link which starts from the 'OFS' then u need to use index of it or try to use any other properties which make the link unique.

u can use link("innertext:=OFS.*" , "index:=0").click

but it is not recommended to use 'index' , try to identify with any of the other properties like 'class' and 'html id'.

Thanks,
Harish

Hi,
this is the only link which i will capture, but there are other link as well in that page which starts with some other alphabets or numbers.
Below are the properties of the link object which i am trying to use

Code:
"innertext:=OFS.*",

"html tag:=A",

"color:=#0000ff",

"background color:=#ffffff"

I tried with the above.

below are the other properties available

Code:
[b]text[/b]=OFS-47045-X:BTFG9093-1

innertext=OFS-47045-X:BTFG9093-1

[b]outertext[/b]=OFS-47045-X:BTFG9093-1

[b]name[/b]=OFS-47045-X:BTFG9093-1

[b]innerhtml[/b]=OFS-47045-X:BTFG9093-1

[b]outerhtml[/b]=<A href="/StubEMPUI/BusinessMessageEvent.do?type=detail&amp;msgIndex=0">OFS-47045-X:BTFG9093-1</A>

abs_x=132

abs_y=478

for the first four properties value start with OFS only
i cannot use abs values as they are changing in runtime. please suggest.

below is my code

Code:
Set Mybrowser3=browser("title:=BusinessMessageEvents","name:=BusinessMessageEvents").page("title:=BusinessMessageEvents")

var_ofskeyid=Mybrowser3.Link("innertext:=OFS.*","html tag:=A").GetROProperty("innertext")

Mybrowser3.Link("text:=Notifications","html tag:=A","name:=Notifications").Click

RE: Link object not getting identified - newqtp - 02-08-2013

I am getting error at this line of code.
browser("opentitle:=.*").page("title:=.*).link("href:=www.yahoo.com/account") value after account keep changing, to make it work I need to use regular expression.
I have tried link("href:=www.yahoo.com.*") it throws error. Any suggestion?

you did not use full value of the innertext. Enter the full value of the innertext it will solve your problem
