[SOLVED]Can't check element existence

Widunder

Hello,
I've tried to figure this out, and I searched through the forum but haven't found anything to help me. I'm trying to check if the link is on the page before clicking on it.
What I have tried doing so far:

if (_condition(_byId("ctl00_HyperLink15")) == true) {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

I get: [Exception] [object Error]

if (_condition(_link("Dashboard")) == true) {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

I get: [Exception] [object Error]

if (_containsHTML(_byId("ctl00_HyperLink15")) == true) {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

I get: undefined

if (_containsHTML(_link("Dashboard")) == true) {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

I get: undefined

if (_assertNotNull(_link("Dashboard")) == true) {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

I get: undefined

if (_assertNotNull(_byId("ctl00_HyperLink15")) == true) {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

I get: undefined

What do I do? I'm using the latest version of Sahi. Everything else works fine. Plus I've found that when I use the playback, it goes through the code ignoring the if condition, carries on and types SUCCESS in the end. May be this will fix once I fix my if condition.
Thank you.

Ok, I got this to work but not:

if (_containsHTML(_byId("ctl00_DashTextLink"), "Dashboard") == true) {
_click(_link("Documents"));
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
}

Don't know why it's skipping the Documents part. It's not clicking on those things in order, it's always executes the last line in the condition method. Goes to Dashboard without going to Documents first. And it doesn't matter what I put in there, it always goes to the last line.

I made it work by putting the lines into a function and calling the function from within the if statement:

function testDashboard() {
_click(_link("Dashboard"));
_click(_link("Dashboard No1"));
}

if (_containsHTML(_link("Dashboard")) != null) {
testDashboard();
}
