This code does not give total no of links present on page plz help it returns 0

[learnQtptips]

This might help you while debugging.
Just check the browser that is active and the browser, you are trying to retrieve the link.

Code:

[b]Browser("micclass:=Browser").Page("Page for Archive link")[/b].Sync
set issuecount = [b]Browser("title:=.*").Page("title:=.*")[/b].ChildObjects(obabstract)

Second,
as you said ur links are within the webtable, you should apply the description object on the webtable not on the page like....

Code:

set issuecount = [b]Browser("title:=.*").Page("title:=.*").webtable("xxxx")[/b].ChildObjects(obabstract)
