Description
The Page
method returns a Page
object that corresponds to the opened web page with the specified URL.
This method is added to processes that correspond to the supported web browsers as well as to the WPF Host process (PresentationHost) that executes WPF XAML Browser applications (XBAP). The method is available only when the Web Testing plugins are installed in TestComplete.
Declaration
TestObj.Page(URL, Index)
TestObj | A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section | |||
URL | [in] | Required | String | |
Index | [in] | Optional | Integer | Default value: 0 |
Result | A Page object |
Applies To
The method is applied to the following objects:
View Mode
To view this method in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs, activate the Advanced view mode.
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
URL
Specifies the URL of the web page opened in the browser. You can use wildcard characters (* and ?) or regular expressions in the ”regexp:pattern“ format to indicate the dynamic parts of the URL, such as values of the query string variables:
Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://www.example.com/index.asp?sid=*")
The asterisk (*) corresponds to a string of any length, the question mark (?) corresponds to any single character. To specify more complicated parts of a URL, use regular expressions:
Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("regexp:http://www.example.(com)|(net)|(org)/index.asp\?sid=.*")
Index
This parameter is only used if you open two or more pages with the same URL in the browser. In this case, these pages have the same URL, so to distinguish the pages, TestComplete uses the Index parameter. The parameter specifies the order in which the pages were opened. If there is only one page with the specified URL, the Index parameter is not used.
Result Value
The Page
object that corresponds to the browser control displaying a page with the specified URL.
If no page is found, the Page
method returns an empty stub object. You can use the Exists
property of the returned object to check whether the page exists.
We do not recommend calling the Exists
property in a loop to wait for a page. Use the WaitPage
method instead. See also Wait For Web Pages.
Remarks
-
To open a new web page in a browser, use the
ToUrl
method. -
During recording, TestComplete can ignore values of specific query string variables in the web page URL and replace them with the * wildcard in the recorded script. To enable this feature, use the Ignore dynamic URL parameters project option.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the Page
method in scripts:
JavaScript, JScript
function WebSample()
{
Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run("http://smartbear.com/");
// Obtains the browser process
var browser = Sys.Browser("iexplore");
// Obtains the page currently opened in Internet Explorer
var page = browser.Page("*");
}
Python
def WebSample():
Browsers.Item[btIExplorer].Run("http://smartbear.com/");
# Obtains the browser process
browser = Sys.Browser("iexplore");
# Obtains the page currently opened in Internet Explorer
page = browser.Page("*");
VBScript
Sub WebSample
Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run("http://smartbear.com/")
' Obtains the browser process
Set browser = Sys.Browser("iexplore")
' Obtains the page currently opened in Internet Explorer
Set page = browser.Page("*")
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure WebSample();
var browser, page;
begin
Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run('http://smartbear.com/');
// Obtains the browser process
browser := Sys.Browser('iexplore');
// Obtains the page currently opened in Internet Explorer
page := browser.Page('*');
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function WebSample()
{
Browsers["Item"](btIExplorer)["Run"]("http://smartbear.com/");
// Obtains the browser process
var browser = Sys["Browser"]("iexplore");
// Obtains the page currently opened in Internet Explorer
var page = browser["Page"]("*");
}
