.parentElement TypeError

globalworming

Hi all

When executing a test i have a code i.e

var $a=_image("xy");
_log((_image("xy").parentElement.parentElement.title);
_log($a.parentElement.parentElement.title);

in the record tab, accessing the image by $a or by name works fine. When I play back this code, the line
_log((_image("xy").parentElement.parentElement.title);
works as expected, but
_log($a.parentElement.parentElement.title);
throws an error: TypeError: Cannot read property "parentElement" from undefined.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening. Unfortunately I m relying on refering to pictures by a varible. This code is in a for-loop and I got many pictures

Even I am facing the same problem on using the below code with Sahi Pro 4.5.2 version:

var $Child = _table("/x-grid3-row-table.*/");
var $Parent = $Child.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement;

Error displayed in log file:
"Cannot read property "parentElement" from undefined"

Please suggest a solution

I used parentNode instead of using parentElement in the above code and got the solution myself

Hi globalwarming,
parentNode is an API that you are looking for.
Repace parentElement with parentNode and you should be fine.

var $a=_image("xy");
_log((_image("xy").parentNode.parentNode.title);

Regards.
