Hi Neil, Thanks for reply. Below are the properties for the bt_select_1 image. The only differences between the bt_select_1 and the bt_select_2 images are in their abs_y and y properties.
When I re-record a click of either image, creating the bt_select_3, bt_select_4, bt_select_5 etc images, then the abs_y and y properties seem to increment by about 13 ie the 614 below increments to 627 and the 649 below increments to 662. Can you tell me which property I should apply a regular expression to? Developers have told me that the images are called bt_select_1 and bt_select_2. (btw the actual path (xpath?) position of bt_select_2 is always fixed at <td>//tr[6]/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[4]/img</td>) Kind regards Steve Properties for bt_select_1 image:- "Class Name:=Image", "abs_x:=855", "abs_y:=614", (bt_select_2 is 649) "alt:=", "class:=", "file name:=bt_select\.jpg", "height:=40", "href:=", "html id:=", "html tag:=IMG", "image type:=Plain Image", "innerhtml:=", "innertext:=", "name:=Image", "outerhtml:=<IMG border=0 src=""graphics/bt_select\.jpg"" width=130 height=40>", "outertext:=", "src:=http://localhost:8080/kiosk/graphics/bt_select\.jpg";, "target:=", "url:=", "visible:=True", "width:=130", "x:=851", "y:=501" (bt_select_2 is 530) On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 5:36 PM, Neil Ellsworth <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, two things I would suggest. > 1.
