The following code works:
_click(_link("Administration"));
_popup('Execute "Administration" on 2013-05-0031')._setSelected(_select("_Submission_Administration.loggedFor.status"), "Approved");
_popup('Execute "Administration" on 2013-05-0031')._click(_button("Cancel"));
The following code DOES not work:
var $administrativeWindowName = 'Execute "Administration" on 2013-05-0031';
_click(_link("Administration"));
_popup($administrativeWindowName)._setSelected(_select("_Submission_Administration.loggedFor.status"), "Approved");
_popup($administrativeWindowName)._click(_button("Cancel"));
The error message in the SAHI runner is something like:
TypeError: matches is null (http://..../Scripts/jQuery/jquery171.js:103)
It is important to note that:
- Escaping the quotations does not work, nor does using " or \x22.
