Hi seniors:
sahi v4.4

I met a problem,
"In the same web page", to through IE9 to catch(a link), was showing _link(Edit). When uses another browser(Chrome 29.xx) to catch,
it was showing _link(EDIT), what's going on that ?
are there somebody experienced that? please share thanks in advance~

Hi wei, Have you tried recording and playing back on the link element?
Sahi can identify elements using plently of identifiers.
Does using _link("Edit") or _link("EDIT") cause any problems while running the script?

Regards.

hi wei_chang,

Have encountered this issue some time back.
Solution 1: Please make your script browser based. (eg : _isChrome(), _isIE())
Solution 2 : Check for ui elements(e.g: id, name,label) other than _link which remains constant across the browsers and use that.

Yes, it happened halt to go next stage while using _link("Edit") on Chrome browser(was catched _link("EDIT")).

Hi Wei,
I agree with what Sarath Krishnan has suggested above.
I think I understand what he suggested above and will try explaining what he meant.
So, Sahi has APIs like isIE, isChrome, isFF etc what return true or false based on which browser you're running the script on.
eg. isIE will return true for IE8, IE9, IE10 etc (all IE versions) and false for firefox, chrome etc.

So as an example, to click the edit link your script should be something like this:

...
...
...
if(isIE()) {
  _click(_link("Edit"));
}
else if(isChrome()) {
  _click(_link("EDIT"));
}
...
...
...

Please let me know if you need any further clarification in this matter.

Regards.
