For Loop help

aranben

Hello,

I'm brand new to Sahi. I saw the flash demo and thought this is a really cool testing software. I've been trying out some of the sample code on the site, but I can't seem to get things working. I copied and pasted the code for the For Loop, but I get a Failure when I execute the script.

Heres the contents of my script:
---Begin Script---
var $searchTerm = "asdf";
_setValue(_textbox("q"), $searchTerm);
_click(_submit("Google Search"));

var $anchors = [];
function getLinks(){
var retVal = [];
var links = document.links;
for (var i=0; i<links.length; i++){
retVal = links.innerHTML;
}
return retVal;
}
_set($anchors, getLinkIds());
for (var $i=0; $i<$anchors.length; $i++) {
_alert($anchors);
}
---End Script---

I get the following output in my Statements box:
_setValue(_textbox("q"), "asdf");
_click(_submit("Google Search"));
setServerVar('\$anchors', getLinkIds());
setServerVar('\$anchors', getLinkIds());
setServerVar('\$anchors', getLinkIds());
setServerVar('\$anchors', getLinkIds());
setServerVar('\$anchors', getLinkIds());
--Stopped Playback: FAILURE--

Does anyone have any clue whats wrong with my script?
And is this a typo?
_set($anchors, getLinkIds()); //Shouldn't it be getLinks()? Regardless, I still get the same error.

Any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Use this code

var $searchTerm = "asdf";
_setValue(_textbox("q"), $searchTerm);
_click(_submit("Google Search"));

var $anchors = [];
<browser>
function getLinkIds(){
    var retVal = [];
    var links = document.links;
    for (var i=0; i<links.length; i++){
        retVal[i] = links[i].innerHTML;
    }
    return retVal;
}
</browser>
_set($anchors, getLinkIds());
for (var $i=0; $i<$anchors.length; $i++) {
    _alert($anchors[$i]);
}

The function getLinkIds() acts on the page's DOM so it needs to be in the <browser> </browser> tags. Also the function name in the definition and the function call should obviously be same.

Regards,
Pankaj.

Thank you very much.

this piece of code is working fine:

var $searchTerm = "java";
_setValue(_textbox("q"), $searchTerm);
_click(_submit("Google Search"));
_alert(document.links.length);

where as the following code is showing error as 'JSERROR ReferanceError."document"is not defined'

var $searchTerm = "java";
_setValue(_textbox("q"), $searchTerm);
_click(_submit("Google Search"));
var linkarr=[];
linkarr=document.links;
_alert(linkarr.length);

Why it is so ?
