  Steve,
  
  What you need are parametrized functions. Here is an example:
  

  function login($username, $password){
      _setValue(_textbox("user"), $username);
      _setValue(_password("password"), $password);
      _click(_submit("Login"));
  }
  
  function addBooks($numJava, $numRuby, $numPython){
      _setValue(_textbox("q"), $numJava);
      _setValue(_textbox("q[1]"), $numRuby);
      _setValue(_textbox("q[2]"), $numPython);
      _click(_button("Add"));
  }
  
  function verifyTotal($total){
      _assertEqual($total, _textbox("total").value);    
  }
  
  login("test", "secret");
  addBooks(2, 1, 1);
  verifyTotal(1150);
  _click(_button("Logout"));

  Narayan,
  
  Thats fine, but in time we would have a huge number of functions, such as login for example would be common across many tests - and so we would need to create funtion libraries.
  
  Is it possible to just do a sort of "include commonfunctions.sah" - or did I read somewhere that each and every function in such a library would need declaring? If so, can you point me to a link on how this is done?!
  
  Many thanks again for your help - you're a star!

  Hi Steve,
  
  You can move all the common functions into another file and just include it using _include.
  
  Have a look at this: http://sahi.co.in/w/functions and http://sahi.co.in/w/_include
  
  You do not need to declare them explicitly. You just need to include your commonfunctions.sah wherever you need those functions.
