Ranorex Recorder unable to click on javascript link

Post by ijunes » Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:31 pm

Code: Select all

<li class="sx4_sedan"> 
						<span class="modelmenu link " onclick="location.href='http://targetwebsite.com"></span> 
					</li> 
When I use the Ranorex recorder to record a click on the link, it recognizes the object as 'SomeSpanTag' and it won't play back the link. Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

Hi,

I think the problem is, that you don't have any text surrounded by your span tag.
So if you put some text into your span the onclick method should be executeable:

Code: Select all

<li>
	<span  onclick=location.href="http://targetwebsite.com">link</span>
</li> 
The object will then no longer be recognized as 'SomeSpanTag' but as 'SpanTagLink'.
