If/Exist statement

[mv8167]

I need to check if a webelement (Report Name) exists as it changes with each iteration.

I tried:

Code:

If Browser("Preferences").Page("Preferences").WebElement("crossreference").Exist(1)

…. In the OR I have regExp of webelement crossreference set to ReportName

and:

Code:

If Browser("Preferences").Page("Preferences").WebElement("innertext:="&ReportName”).Exist(1)

which i thought would work. But both get passed by.

Any ideas on how to better my If exists statement?

HI,

Can you let us know what regular expression that you used in OR?

there is a small correction in the second method i.e. DP

Code:

If Browser("Preferences").Page("Preferences").WebElement("innertext:=" & ReportName).Exist

Supputuri,

Hi, thx for the info.

In my OR, I changed the webelement for crossreference innertext set to my variable ReportName (no quotes)

Sorry, I dont see any change in the code for:

Code:

If Browser("Preferences").Page("Preferences").WebElement("innertext:=" & ReportName).Exist

other than a space p-rior to &.

thx for your looking?

I ended up using a different webelement to Exist off of and all is well now. Something is hookey with the crossreference. ;-)

thx for looking
