How to select font node?

I am using Sahi to record my actions in IE8 on a Windows 7 machine. My page contains this markup:

<td id="ButtonText" class="myClass">
<font title="unique title" onclick="CallThis()">ButtonText</font>
</td>

When I click the button defined above, Sahi records:

_click(_cell("Button Text"));

But when I play this back, the button is not clicked. However,

_assertExists(_cell("Button Text"));

returns true.

I have added the following line into the concat.js file to try to make it detect font nodes:

this.addAD({tag: "FONT", type: "null", event:"click", name: "_font", attributes: ["sahiText", "title|alt", "id", "index", "href", "className"], action: "_click", value: "sahiText"});

but this doesn't seem to have had any effect (I have restarted Sahi). I don't have any control over the page being tested and I am not sure whether the td node or the font node is being selected.

How do I fire the onclick event of the font node?

I am using the most recent build of Sahi as of Sep 2012.

I have posted the same question on Stack Overflow, but believe this is probably a more appropriate place to ask.

Thanks,
MB

    Not getting this to work is a deal-breaker with regards to using Sahi and I am really keen to find a workaround. I have opened a bounty on Stack Overflow if anybody is able to help.

    I am unable to post a link, but the question is titled 'how-to-select-font-node-in-sahi' and has question id 12267130.

    Narayan - Thanks for the help you have already given. Sahi seems like such a great product and this is the only thing holding us back.

    Much appreciated,

    The solution to the problem was to remove the quotes around "null":

    this.addAD({tag: "FONT", type: null, event:"click", name: "_font", attributes: ["sahiText", "title|alt", "id", "index", "href", "className"], action: "_click", value: "sahiText"});

    Is this right?

    Yes - my colleague pointed me in the right direction and this resolved the problem.
