How to click links with same name in a webtable? - qtplearner88 - 05-24-2012

Hi,
I have a web portal. In that there is one table of 4 rows and 5 coulmns. The last column contains links. These links are of same name. There is not html id for those links. Only distinguishing factor is index property(ordinal identifier). But I am not sure how to use that.

I would like to read the rows and columns first and have to click the links as I wish. Is this possible or is there any other way.

Please help me in this. Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
No, html id and row id are different. U have to navigate through all rows using for loop.

Code:
For i=1 to rowcount

if <condition to check the required data on particular cell of table>

set objLink=Browser().page().webtable().childitem(i,5)-->get the link to Click

objLink.Click

msgBox("Row id for this link was"&i)

Next

This is a rough code..u can get a feel of what u need to do.

You can also use the index function, which correspond to the link order in the object. Index 1 = link 1, Index 2 = link 2, etc. However, this will result in clicking the wrong item if the "correct" links aren't always the same index item.
