[Webtest] SetInputField error String index out of range: -1000000

[Rhee]

Hi all

I get error StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range:
-1000000 when trying to set input to datagrid; see snippet below. Has
anybody come across this error? My id and name for xpath are the same and
they are really long (auto generated).

I am currently using
//*...@name=
'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$grdExpenseEntry$grdExpenseEntry$ctl02$txtMonday']"

(verify passes but setInputField fails)

and have tried the 2 expressions below for short and both fail.
//*[ends-with(name(), 'Monday')]
//*[substring(name(),string-length(name())-1) = 'Monday']

Any suggestions are welcome.



<table class="GridView_Office2007" cellspacing="0" rules="all" border="1"
id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdHourlyEntry_grdHourlyEntry"
style="border-collapse:collapse;">
                                    <tr>
                                        <th scope="col">&nbsp;</th><th
scope="col">                    <span
id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdHourlyEntry_grdHourlyEntry_ctl01_lblMondayHeader">Mon</span>
                    <br />
