tower120

Good afternoon!

I got this error when run test under IE :
"Object doesn't support this property or method"

Under all other browsers - all OK. if simplify I do this:
_setFile
_eval
_click

Thats from my log:

_click( _link(0, _in(_byId("tabUploader"))) );
_setFile(_file("picture_file_1"), "D:\\Images\\sunrise.jpg", "upload/file_from_swf?action=upload");
_eval("document.getElementById('"+ "picture_file_1" +"').changeEvent()");
_setFile(_file("picture_file_2"), "D:\\Images\\dock.jpg", "upload/file_from_swf?action=upload");
_eval("document.getElementById('"+ "picture_file_2" +"').changeEvent()");
setServerVar('___lastValue___1303133441899', _isVisible(_link(0, _in(_byId("useInDesignPopupUploadBtn")))));
setServerVar('___lastValue___1303133443537', _isVisible(_link(0, _in(_byId("useInDesignPopupUploadBtn")))));
_click( _link(0, _in(_byId("useInDesignPopupUploadBtn"))));
_click( _div("smallGalleryInTab") );

I have run into similar issues with error message in AJAX applications. The root problem is that the element in question was in the process of being inserted/replaced by the AJAX response when the Sahi processor is attempting to identify/process the script. I used a construct similar to the following to work around this issue. My solution will attempt the operation a number of times, incrementing an error count if an exception is thrown. This solution works 100% in our pure AJAX applications. Here's an example:

var errorCount = 0;

do
try {
_click(_div("smallGalleryInTab"));
break;
} catch (e) {
errorCount++;
_wait(1000);
}

} while (errorCount < 3);

The most intresting thing that it really CLICKED that button, but did not uderstand that

I mean, actions that must occurs after clicking on that button - occurs, but sahi still try to do:
_click( _div("smallGalleryInTab") );

And not die by timeout.

Let me remind, that this things happens under IE only.

Hi tower120,

Could you try

_mouseDown( _div("smallGalleryInTab") );

instead of

_click( _div("smallGalleryInTab") );

?

I try _mouseDown - yes it goes further, but button not clicks .

And by the way _mouseDown not work at all for me - not only at this button.

Problem not in
_click( _div("smallGalleryInTab") );
but in:
_click( _link(0, _in(_byId("useInDesignPopupUploadBtn"))));

For examle, here http://www.optimalprint.com/ I try in IDE execute this:
_mouseDown( _span("Shop for business") );

Nothing happens.

I have the same trouble using _mouseDown function. Let's hope, someone can provide an explanation on how it works exactly.

Hi cateam,

A _click consists of _mouseDown _keyPress and _mouseUp.
Sometimes one of them may work better than the other. Generally it is very dependent on the js implementation code of the web app. So _mouseDown not working for your link may not be related to the span problem. We will be making an open source release within a couple of days, so you should be able to use _click on your page (which actually works with _mouseDown for us on IE8, FF4 and Chrome10)

Ok. Good to know. But since it was the same effect (no action after using _mousedown function), I thought it was the same issue. Let's hope the new version will fix this out.
Thanks.
