    I have written this function for the same:

    function getFirstLink(){
    var list = document.getElementById("recipe-teaser");
    var li = list.getElementsByTagName("li");
    var aText = li[0].getElementsByTagName("a")[1].innerHTML;

    _click(_link(aText));
    }

    but i am getting following error on execution:
    _click(_link(aText));
    TypeError: 'aText' is undefined
    No trace available


    Kindly suggest solution for this.

    The first link is

    _link(0)

    If you want a first link inside "recipe-teaser", use

    _link(0, _in(_byId("recipe-teaser")))

    Use something like:

    _link(0, _in(_div("class_name")))

    Check out "Using custom functions that access the DOM." in http://sahi.co.in/w/sahi-script-and-javascript to understand how to write the code that you had initially posted.

    Hi Tina,

    Please create a new forum post.

    You have to start Sahi before running your suite script.

    Could you provide script for clicking the first link on the page of a popup window, if the link is not static (means the links of that webpage keeps on changing on a daily basis.)?
