  Corrected code

  _log("TEST"); // no period before bracket. _log.("TEST");
  _assertExists(_byId("dialog0"));   // You should not add _sahi. to these functions. Sahi will automatically add it.  _sahi._assertExists(_sahi._byId("dialog0"));

  Thanks for the quick reply!
  
  Let me clarify. I have a root script which is calling a sequence of other scripts in order to test a feature:

  _include("../../common/login.sah"); 
  _include("../../common/logout.sah");
  _include("../timeframe/gotoTimeframePage.sah");
  _include("../timeframe/setTimeframe.sah");
  _include("waitForPageToLoad.sah");
  _include("testCallLogSearchResults.sah");
  
  _continueOnError();
  
  logout();
  
  login("speechdial", "speechdial;");
  
  gotoTimeframePage();
  
  setFormValsAndSubmit("01/01/09 07:25", "01/01/09 07:27");
  
  waitForPageToLoad();
  
  verifyCallLogSearchResults();
  //_assertExists(_byId("dialog0"));    // ALTERNATIVE
  
  logout();
  

  The function verifyCallLogSearchResults() is contained in the following testCallLogSearchResults.sah:
  

  function verifyCallLogSearchResults()
  {
  
      checkDialogExists();
  }
  
  function checkDialogExists()
  {
      // Check the dialog exists
      _assertExists(_byId("dialog0")); // ERROR LINE
  }
  

  When 'ERROR LINE' is called, I get the error message "JSERROR TypeError: Cannot find function _assertExists". If I comment it out, the code runs fine. If i move the same line to the parent script at 'ALTERNATIVE' it runs fine.
  
  To summarise, the _assertExists() function seems to disappear...
  
  Apologies for my original post - I think it led you on a wild goose chase...

  I have done something similar to what you are trying to do
  

  <browser>
  function logoutLinkExists()
  {
      return _containsText(_byId("footerContents"), "You are currently logged in... welcome back");
  }
  </browser>
  
  function Login($username, $password, $emailaddress)
  {
      var $exists;
      _set($exists, logoutLinkExists());
      while ($exists)
      {
          clickLink("Logout");
          _set($exists, logoutLinkExists());
      }
  
      setTextBoxValue(null, "ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$Login1\$UserName", $username);
      setPassword("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$Login1\$Password", $password, null);
      setTextBoxValue(null, "ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$Login1\$Email", $emailaddress);
      clickSubmit(null, "Log In", null);
  }
  

  I am guessing that where you could substitute my _containsText with your _assertExists and achieve the same results. but the function must be called within a _set Statement as shown on line 2 of my Login function.
  
  Hope this is of help

  Thanks Donna, this helped me. I was doing something like this before:
  

  <browser>
          function returnFive() {
                     return 5;              
          }
  </browser>
  
  var $number = _call(returnFive());
  _setValue(_textbox("five"), $number);
  

  
  Which was throwing me a JSERROR ReferenceError
  
  I changed it to how you suggested I call a function to set a variable's value.
  

  var $number;
  _set($number, returnFive());
  _setValue(_textbox("five"), $number);
  

  
  And it worked fine.
  
  So looks like _call cannot be used for setting variable values? Wish this was documented better.

  Hi Nivedita,
  
  Thanks for the feedback on the documentation. Could you please check now to see if it is any better?

  Thanks and regards,

  Sure, documentation for _call and _set explains this behavior much better now, thanks.
  
  Just wondering aloud here, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a wiki for the documentation so that users can update the documentation themselves?
