Newbie question - can't spy on any object within website - axxe - 03-20-2010
Total newbie, going through the tutorial.
Using QTP 10.0 with both WinXP/IE6 and Vista/IE8 - both setups have the following problem:
I launch Object Spy and as I mouse over the Mercury Tours website I am able to spy on objects in the browser frame (WinToolbar and various WinObjects) but the whole inner part of the browser window with the Mercury Tours content is spied as a single big WinObject. I can't spy on the Username edit box, for example.
When I try to "Learn" the Mercury Tours site I get the following in the Object Repository Manager:
- Test Objects
---- Windows Internet Explorer
------- ABC Edit
- Checkpoint and Output Objects
Note that Spying and Learning appear to work fine with Firefox, but not with IE. (!)
What am I doing wrong?

make sure you have enabled Web-addin.

Web add-in was enabled (I was able to spy objects in Firefox).
I restarted the computer and now IE seems to be working correctly. Strange!

Not strange if you have opened your app first and then QuickTest

Ah yes, that must be it. Thanks Ankur!
