Using Sahi Javascript

Hi,
Is there a way of instantiating a browser element and setting it visible using Sahi ‘javascript’?
<browser>
Browser browser = new Browser();
browser.textbox("username").setValue("Admin");
</browser>
_assertEqual("Admin", _getValue(_textbox("username"))); //this will pass
_assertEqual("Admin2", _getValue(_textbox("username"))); //this should fail
I can get a text box to exist as the code above passes.
However I want is to be visible? Basically I am writing a function and want to make sure ‘my function’ does what it is intended?
Function myfunction(“textbox”)
{
Assert if visible
Assert if exists
}
Hopefully this makes sense? I don’t know if I can create a browser object and create a browser element that is associated with it, and set its visibility. But I can’t see many posts on the subject on the forum.

QA is very important on our team and we want to ensure that the functions we write have been tested before they are included in our test code.
As stated above, we have a function called
function checkButton($button_name)
{
_assertExists($button_name);
_assert(_isVisible($button_name));
}
And I don’t know if anyone can advise how I can instantiate a button object, and set the parameters to being visible and pass this into the function, without actually creating a website, or do I have to create a website and point it to that? Any help or assistance would be greatly helpful? If this is not possible then I think the test web page is the only option I assume?
Thanks
