IE form buttons not recording properly

[mpopkin]

Hi All,

I have a web form with two buttons on it, each runs a different javascript in the page. The problem is, WebRecorder records them both as identical steps, even though they should run different functions:

(WebRecorder results for either button)

Code: Select all

  Let>FrameName={"workarea_frame"}
  Let>FormName={"ReportQuery"}
  Let>TagValue={""}
  IE_ClickTag>%IE[3]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,INPUT,NAME,str:TagValue,r

Here are the button sources:

Code: Select all

<input onClick="javascript: doCustomQuery('ReportQuery')" class="cGoButton" value="Go" type="BUTTON"></input>

<input onClick="javascript: doSearch('ReportQuery', '');" class="cGoButton" value="Go" type="BUTTON"></input>

And this is what the javascripts look like:

Code: Select all

    function doSearch(formId, searchText)
    {
        if(searchText == '')
        {
                        searchText = getElementValue(formId, formId + '_search_text');
            searchText = replace(searchText, "%", "");
        }

        //  we need to wrap the string 'null' in quotes
        //  otherwise it does not come in as a parameter to the list filtering
        if(searchText.toLowerCase() == 'null')
        {
            searchText = "'" + searchText + "'";
        }

        setElementValue(formId, formId + '_search_text', TRIM(searchText));

        var actionLink = "/long/dynamic........./URL/here";
        eval('document.' + formId + '.action = actionLink;');
        eval('document.' + formId + '.submit();');
    }

function doCustomQuery(formId)
{
    var actionLink = "/ANOTHER/long/dynamic........./URL/here";
    eval('document.' + formId + '.action = actionLink;');
    eval('document.' + formId + '.submit();');
}

Any ideas on how I could get these links to run correctly?

TIA

Nevermind.

I figured out how to work it using the ClickTag INDEX attrib.

That allowed me to click the buttons individually.

Hope this helps someone else.

thanks!
