WaitChild does not appear to recognise when a Link object appears in a webpage

Question

I cannot get WaitChild to work for a logout Link which only appears after user has logged in:

Set logoutLink = Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).WaitChild("Link(2)", 1000)

If I insert a sleep(100) before the line of code above it works, but that defeats the object of trying to use the WaitChild method

The problem may not be in the wait child for the link, but in the panel that the link is a child of.&nbsp; Something to look at is whether or not that panel exists prior to logging in.&nbsp;

Thanks for your response.I did think of that, so tried running this code:SetlogoutLink =Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).WaitChild("Panel(1)",1000)SetlogoutLink =Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).WaitChild("Link(2)",1000)However the code only fails on the second line (the new Link(2) object), so that does not appear to be the problem

Hi Jonathan,Try using the 'WaitLink' method:Set logoutLink = Sys.Process("iexplore").Page(uRL).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).WaitLink(2, 10000)Please see the 'Additional Methods Used to Obtain Web Pages Elements' section of the Working With Web Page Elements help topic.

Hi David,Thanks for your response.I had previously tried the WaitLink method but did not realise that I could specify my link using an index. Using the link name does not work, but using an index, as you suggest, did work. So thanks very much for your help!
