Java Client: radio element can't be found after asserting existence

radicalbiscuit

I'm working with Sahi Pro's Java client. I'm trying to click or check a specific radio button which is sitting next to a search result. The search result corresponds to an entry in a database and therefore has a specific primary key associated with it.

I have the primary key ID and Sahi shows me that the radio buttons can be accessed using their primary key IDs as strings (radio("2") for instance), by their names (radio("CECourseIdnt") would work) or their positions on the page (radio(0)).

I'd like to use the ID string ("2") so I know I'm finding the exact radio button I want. I assertTrue that it exists, and the test passes. Then I move on to actually click it, using the same method I used when testing its existence. But this time, the browser can't find it:

error:_click(_radio("2"))
Error: The parameter passed to _click was not found on the browser

Like I said, this is immediately after the existence of the radio button is confirmed. Why would it work once and never again? If I statically set it as radio(0), it will work both times.

I'm using IE 9.0.8112.16421 and Sahi Pro 4.3.2.

I was able to work around this problem by issuing the .click() method from the radio object itself instead of trying to have the browser object click the radio object. Weird that it didn't work the other way, but I'm a pragmatist, so I won't complain about it working this way.
