Dynamic change of name for Webtables - prakashreddy - 10-22-2014

Hi All

I am new to QTP and working on automating my application. i have a search box and search button on my web page. The condition for Search text is entered text should be min 3 characters. any thing less than three should show error message " abcdef"

-> Now for identification of search box i wrote below statement for to enter input

Code:
Browser("xyz").Page("xyz").Webtable("xyz").WebEdit("abc").Set "Value"

-> for search action i wrote

Code:
Browser("xyz").Page("xyz").Webtable("xyz").Image("img").click

now when i run the app it is working as expected

Now i am validating the error message and entered less than 3 and got error message which is as expected and good.
now comes the problem
when i try to enter more than 3 characters and run the app its is not recognizing the search object when the error message is still on the page
i again identified the search box with error message on the page.

now the webtable name has been changed to

Code:
Browser("xyz").Page("xyz").Webtable("xyz abcefg").WebEdit("abc")

that means every time when i run the application i have to make sure that there is no error message on my page and run my current code if i don't do that then i my search box is not being recognized

can any one please let me know how to handle the situation

Option 1: check for the property of the table which does not changes based on the error message condition and use the same in your code/OR
Option 2: Use the pipe symbol and provide both the property values (withoutErrMsg|withErrMsg)

Let me know if you need any more help
