Unable to click() HtmlAnchor inside HtmlDiv

[Chris]

I've created a unit test that runs perfectly in chrome but is unable to click or hover an HtmlAnchor when IE = browsertype. See attached DOM tree.

[TestMethod]
        [TestCategory("Nightly")]
        public void SearchTest()                  
        {

            Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.Chrome);

            ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://someURL.aspx");

            Pages.AdeptHome.AdeptLink.Click(false);

            Pages.AdeptWelcome.Markets.MouseHover();
            Pages.AdeptWelcome.Texas.Click(false);

Hi Chris,

...but is unable to click or hover an HtmlAnchor when IE = browsertype

What happens when it tries in IE? Do you get an error? Does the test think it worked but nothing happens in the browser? We'll need to be able to see the problem first hand by reproducing it on our machine before we can investigate what is causing the problem. Is it possible for us to get direct access to your application being tested (we don't need the source code, just a URL we can connect to)?

Hi Cody,

Sorry for not responding sooner but I was able to solve the issue. Instead of defining the object as an HtmlAnchor, I defined it as an HtmlDiv and used the innertext property. The code looks like this...

public HtmlDiv Texas
            {
                get
                {
                    return Get<HtmlDiv>("innertext=Texas", "tagname=div");
                }
            }

I also switched from Click() to MouseClick() and MouseHover()

Pages.Welcome.Markets.MouseHover();
Pages.Welcome.Texas.MouseClick();
