Based on your snippet of code, I noticed you have the form elements inside a
table. Does your <form> also start inside a table row? We see this issue a
lot in some of our legacy pages with malformed HTML.
If the parent HTML element is closed before the form is closed, you have
malformed HTML. The most common pitfall I keep seeing is the following:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<form>
...
</td>(Webtest sees the form end here and any elements below it are not
seen inside a form, giving the error you mentioned)
</tr>
...
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Logon"
class="contentbutton" onClick="submitForm();"> (Webtest will not see this
button inside a form)
</td>
</tr>
...
<tr>
<td>
...
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The fix is to move the form outside the table:
<form>
<table>
...
</table>
</form>
Webtest will now correctly identify all form elements.
We have found the following Firefox plugin especially helpful in identifying
malformed pages: http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/
Our basic rule is if the plugin shows a Red X, webtest most likely will fail.

Hi Phumza,
I looked at the html for our buttons and I notice we don't have any that are
class="contentbutton", ours are class="formbutton" or class="widebutton". I
have no idea if that makes any difference (I'm not a programmer), just throwing
that out there. We had problems in the past with buttons not being recognized,
but not lately.

Hi All
I have a login button inside a form, in a jsp page, but when i direct
webtest to find that button and use it, it can't fine it.
I thought maybe it was something to do with javascript, but i've
disabled javascript.
here is a code for the button.
<clickButton description="Clicking the Login button should take us to
Appraisal Console" label="Logon" name="Submit"></clickButton>
and here is the code in the jsp
<tr>
<div class="logonbutton" align="center">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Logon"
class="contentbutton" onClick="submitForm();">
</div>
</tr>
And this is the error message i keep getting.
Error
Message
No button found
Location
