action designer problem

[zenewbie]

I want to post a comment on facebook and setup the action designer to look for the box, which always works - I hit the test button and add it to project. But when I execute it it doesn't find that element any more. I have to "inspect the element" again, only then it also works in project.

What am I doing wrong? I guess it's some sort of proctection by facebook but I can't seem to overcome it. Can somebody please give me a hint, I would very much appreciate it!

Check attributes in action. Most likely you use non constant attributes

I tried everything, this seems to be tricky. There is only place where "Write a comment..." text is in html, I search for it via action designer, he finds it uniquely, I let him click it, and add it to project, after that I write the text into that field that is now usable after clicking - and it works! When I reload the page and try it WITHOUT searching for the field via action designer, it doesn't find the text!? Why?

Is there a way to focus the "Write a comment..." field in a standard facebook post, in order to click it and write a comment? I think I tried everything now, but can't get it to work. It works only after adding it to the projects via action designer once, but fails on it's own.

I'm pretty sure this attribute is static

Yes, of course I tried that and it works in action designer searching for that, it finds it every time and rise-event-click also works. But after adding it to the project and running it form there on a different page it doesn't find that text any more! That's my problem!

I just looked in an old template of mine what I was using, gave it a try and it was still working. Kind of surprised actually, thought it got outdated a long time ago.
