Firefox - link is not clicked /onclick event not raised (handler of a user-initiated event)
I have a link disguised as an icon. Upon clicking it, either a file Save/Open windows dialog pops up or a file is downloaded depending on the browser settings. When I tried to simulate that in Pega, neither PerformClick nor RaiseEvent(onclick) had any effect though no exception was thrown during execution. I am 100% sure correct element is matched because this element is unique.
The said element has a structure such as this:
<a id="downloadCsv" class = "..." href="#" onclick=".."> [event]
<span class="icon">< /span>
</a>
Click event is on of the events attached to that element.
How can I make it work in Pega Studio?

@KasiaM40 Without seeing your link, I can't offer anything specific, however if calling the PerformClick method does not work, then you might need to use the RaiseEvent method and pass the specific events you need to raise. You might need to use a combination of events to get it to recognize the click depending on what that particular page is listening for.

@ThomasSasnettRaise event with "onclick" event doesn't work.

@KasiaM40 Are you certain you have interrogated the correct item? The item in this case is the one with the "A" tag. You might need to use "Select Element" on the interrogation form to grab it. If you have, then I would suggest working with our support team as someone would need to be able to access your application to see what might be happening.

@ThomasSasnett Yes, I captured the "A" tag element.
I know that when it comes to triggering these dialogs, it may be necessary to trigger that click event within a code block that was the handler of a user-initiated event. Is there any way to simulate that in Pega?

@KasiaM40 You can use the RaiseEvent method. If you need to use an actual mouse click, you would need to use a C# script. You might be able to use the SendKeys method and send Enter.

@ThomasSasnettRaiseEvent does not work. There's an issue when it comes to using SendKeys on a Virtual Machine so I cannot try that.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any script examples I could use for my automation.

@KasiaM40 You might try opening a support request and they may be able to assist you. Without getting hands-on with your application, there's not much more I can suggest.
