  If you know the function the you can directly call that function instead of clicking the link.
  Use _call(); to call the function.
  Ex. if onclick = FunctionAfterIconClick() is used in browser code than _call(FunctionAfterIconClick()); will work.

  Thanks for the reply. I tried with that too. Its not working for me. Actually html for the link is
  

  onclick="return FnAfterLinkClick('value')
  

  
  I tried using
  

  
  _call(fnAfterLinkClick());
  
  _call(FnAfterLinkClick('Value'));
  
  _call(FnAfterLinkClick(),"Value");
  

  
  and in the log i am getting TypeError: Object Expected
  
  Actually clicking the link is working fine and it is opening the dialog box but sahi repeats the step of clicking the link and fails the test and giving the error message "null is null or not an object".
  
  Thanks

  Did you try _eval?
  This will diff combination with eval as you have used in call. Ex. _eval("return FnAfterLinkClick('value')");

  Guys,
  
  What you are trying to do are all workarounds. In these cases you are testing the function working correctly, but not that it was called correctly when the click happened. Sahi should be able to click the element using _click and things should work correctly. This is really a bug.
  
  cragu,
  Could you do this and check if the link works for you?
  
  1) Open sahi/htdocs/spr/concat.js in a text editor.
  2) Search for Sahi.prototype.linkClick
  3) Replace that function with this:
  

  Sahi.prototype.linkClick = function (e) {
      if (!e) e = window.event;
      var performDefault = true;
      var el = this.getTarget(e);
      this.lastLink = this.getEncapsulatingLink(el);
      if (this.lastLink.prevClick) {
          try{
              performDefault = this.lastLink.prevClick.apply(this.lastLink, arguments);
          }catch(ex){}
      }
      this.lastLinkEvent = e;
      if (performDefault != false) {
          window.setTimeout(function(){_sahi.navigateLink()}, 10);
      } else {
          return false;
      }
  };
  

  
  4) Restart Sahi, clear browser cache and try it again.
  
  Let me know what you see.

  Narayan

  Narayan,
  
  Thanks a lot... Just to confirm before proceed, as i am using Oct 26 2008 build, in the concat.js file, i am seeing the following 2 functions. i don't see Sahi.prototype.linkClick
  

  var linkClick = function (e) {
      var performDefault = true;
      if (this.prevClick) {
          performDefault = this.prevClick.apply(this, arguments);
      }
      if (performDefault != false) {
          _sahi.navigateLink(this);
      }
  
  and
  
  Sahi.prototype.navigateLink = function (ln) {
      if (!ln) return;
      var win = this.getWindow(ln);
      if (ln.href.indexOf("javascript:") == 0) {
          var s = ln.href.substring(11);
          win.setTimeout(unescape(s), 0);
      } else {
          var target = ln.target;
          if (ln.target == null || ln.target == "") target = "_self";
          if (this.isSafariLike()) {
              var targetWin = win.open("", target);
              try {
                  targetWin._sahi.onBeforeUnLoad();
              } catch(e) {
                  this._debug(e.message);
              }
              targetWin.location.href = ln.href;
          }
          else win.open(ln.href, target);
      }
  }
  
  

  
  I need to replace the var linkclick() function with your new function right? Just to remind you, in my case sahi clicks the link and the window is getting opened but sahi keep on trying to click the link.
  
  So sahll i proceed with replacing the function? waiting for your comment.
  
  Thanks

  If this is an old build, try replacing
  
  if (this.prevClick) {
  performDefault = this.prevClick.apply(this, arguments);
  }
  
  with
  
  if (this.prevClick) {
  try {
  performDefault = this.prevClick.apply(this, arguments);
  }catch(e){}
  }

  After replacing as you mentioned also there is no difference. Sahi executing the particular step _Click(_link("uc512_name")); and opening the target window. Then again sahi executing the same step 5 times and the test fails. In the log it shows
  _Click(_link("uc512_name")); TypeError: 'null' is null or not an object.
  
  and in the sahi.bat
  
  it showing Rhino lib:### Step did not return in 5 minuties.
  
  Waiting for your comments.
  
  Thanks

  Narayan,
  
  Do you think this is a bug in sahi? because sahi clicks other links in this application and its working correctly. But in the case of the particular link, actually it is an image which is defined as link and its href=# but when clicking the link its opening the web page dialog window(which has the URL in it).
  
  Sahi clicks the image link and opens the window correctly but why still sahi trying to click the link. What sahi is expecting in this case?
  
  Awaiting your comments?
  
  Thanks

  Narayan,
  
  In the application for the link, Ajax tool control and updatepanel are used. is it the cause of the problem?
