ClickChildByText not working in Universal Web Adaptor
Hi Folks,
I am using Universal Web adaptor (chrome), and have interrogated a HTML table. I have automation to loop thro' the table rows, and based on specific conditions for values in a given set of columns, I'll have to click on a link in that row - the link will always have a fixed text value, and its not an anchor (a) element, but a "U" element. I tried using ClickChildByText, but it always fails. I'm attaching a snapshot of the code snippet where I extract the cell proxy and use clickchildbytext - this is after all the conditions match. ClickChildByText always returns false now.
Thanks!

Aravind,
Can you post an image of the control created by interrogating the link that you are clicking on?
If you have not individually interrogated the link control, I would suggest that you do so. Since you are looping through the rows, then you can implement a Clone control (where the control for the link will match all the corresponding links on the table) approach to click on corresponding row by passing either an index value or a key value. You can find more details about clone controls in this link:

Lopec, I tried interrogating the control as clones as well - interestingly, it comes outside the table control, and not under it in the hierarchy. However, when looping tho' the clones - the order is different from the order of rows. So for instance, if I want to click the link in the 2nd row of the table, it does not correspond to the 2nd clone.
