I've run into that countless times with HTML. I've sat staring at the code for a web page for a day more more, unable to fathom why there's a one-inch vertical line at the bottom of a page.

This is why I did not become a programmer ;p It's too much like math for Nicole's brain.

Hi,

Even I found dat issue few days but couldnt figrued it out whats the exact reason. Your post certainly helped me.

Equals to operator (=) compares string or numeric expressions. What is returned by Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Link("Link).Exist(0) is boolean as can be checked from msgbox Typename(Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Link("Link).Exist(0))

When a boolean expression (on the LHS) see an equal to operator, it must be implicitly getting changed into string or numeric expression depending on whether string or numeral is present on the other side(RHS).

So in your case both of these should work...

String comparison (String - "True" - is present. Note the quotes):
If Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Link("Link).Exist(0) = "True" then
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass "Link Found", "YES"
End If

Numeric Comparison: (Numeral -1- is present)
If Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Link("Link).Exist(0) = 1 then
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass "Link Found", "YES"
End If

If you want to compare Boolean expressions on both sides use AND

If Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Link("Link).Exist(0) AND True then
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass "Link Found", "YES"
End If

Trust, that makes sense?
