Unable to get the total links on my webpage

[RGummadidala]

Hi All,

In the process of learning descriptive programming, I started with this small program to return the count of hyperlinks on "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym"

Code:

Dim obj_Desc
Set  obj_Desc = Description.Create
obj_Desc("micclass").Value="Links"
Set Links = Browser("Yahoo! Mail: The best web-based email! ").Page("Yahoo! Mail: The best web-based email! ").ChildObjects(obj_Desc)
Msgbox "Number of Links " & Links.Count

My expectation is to get back the count of hyperlinks.

For this to run, I closed all the browsers and opened a new browser pointed to above URL. I have not made any other setup apart from writing this script in expert view and run it.

I ended up with

"The "Yahoo! Mail: The best web-based email! " object was not found in the Object Repository.
Check the Object Repository to confirm that the object exists or to find the correct name for the object.

Line (4):

Code:

"Set Links = Browser("Yahoo! Mail: The best web-based email! ").Page("Yahoo! Mail: The best web-based email! ").ChildObjects(obj_Desc)".

Tip: If the objects in your application have changed, the Maintenance Run Mode can
help you identify and update your steps and/or the objects in your repository.

Since I'm working on descriptive programming, I suppose I need not have the objects declared in object repository. What am I missing here ? Please advise.

Thanks
Ravi
