[Webtest] clicklink question (newbie)

[Sean Crosson]

Hi,

I'm trying to use clicklink to test a link that uses javascript to submit,
as in:

	<clicklink stepid="Link to Profile/User Admin"
                 label="Profile/User Admin"
                 href="javascript:showAdminPage()"/>

The label field contains the exact text that is in the alt field in the html
file.  When I try to build here's the output I get:

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/Canoo/build/doc/samples/profileuseradmin.xml:9: Test failed.
Test step clicklink named "Profile/User Admin Page" failed with message
"Step "Profile/User Admin Page" (8/9): Link not found in page: <Profile/User
Admin>"

I've tried removing the label text and using only the link, as in:

	<clicklink stepid="Link to Profile/User Admin"
                 label=""
                 href="javascript:showAdminPage()"/>

Then I get this error:
