To handle dynamic objects, with the windows scripting using the DOM Funda, first of all capture the desktop, then the browser and then all the inner objects in it.

USE THE CONCEPT OF MODIFYING OBJECT DESCRIPTION: 
by changinf the property that Quick test uses to identify that object. 
for example:object repository learnt an image propert , 
object name or image is dynamic, 
in such case you can use a property which identifies the location of object on your AUT.

QTP has a unique feature called Smart Object Identification/recognition. QTP generally identifies an object by matching its test object and run time object properties. QTP may fail to recognise the dynamic objects whose properties change during run time. Hence it has an option of enabling Smart Identification, wherein it can identify the objects even if their properties changes during run time. 
 
Check this out- 
 
If QuickTest is unable to find any object that matches the recorded object description, or if it finds more than one object that fits the description, then QuickTest ignores the recorded description, and uses the Smart Identification mechanism to try to identify the object.  
 
While the Smart Identification mechanism is more complex, it is more flexible, and thus, if configured logically, a Smart Identification definition can probably help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when the recorded description fails.  
 
The Smart Identification mechanism uses two types of properties:  
 
Base filter properties?The most fundamental properties of a particular test object class; those whose values cannot be changed without changing the essence of the original object. For example, if a Web link's tag was changed from to any other value, you could no longer call it the same object. 
Optional filter properties?Other properties that can help identify objects of a particular class as they are unlikely to change on a regular basis, but which can be ignored if they are no longer applicable.

Dynamic object is an object which changes its properties at the run time and thus its mandatory properties cant be predicted from the starting. 
To automate these objects, properties objects should be used. Here a property object is created using the description class. 
Set Obj1 = Description.Create() 
n then you can assign the name and title values to this custom object and these values can be captured during the runtime and hence using these values this custom object will identify the dynamic object in your application.

Using GETRO Property we will handle the runtime objects.

I have to ask how can I test " The images which changes dynamically" in the web page eg . - yahoo / rediffmail page

I got to go through lot of website and QTP help regarding handling the regularised expressions.In my App, the dialog box caption (Fax Order No. 18) is changing constantly . I have changed the properties 1. title to "Fax Order No. *"2. regexpwndtitle to "Fax Order No. *" in the object properties.But it's still not working. Can anybody help me in this regard?Thanks in advance -Shrinivas

Hello,

You suggested regular expression but I am unable to employ regular expressions as values for object properties. eg I have an object which has a property "value". I wanted to specify regular expression for value but QTP doesn't keep it. Object.Select(value) doesn't accept any regular expression.

I know regular expressions can be beneficial for checkpoints or synchronization points.

As suggested you can use regular expression. You can slightly modify regular expression as follows:
"Fax Order No. . *"

I would like to answer the question "How do we test dynamic objects".
As suggested by Saurab we basically use descriptive programming to test a web page with dynamic objects. Let's take an example:

If a web page has a button which depending on certain condition it's caption changes between Yes|No. Then we write code some thing like this

if Browser(....).Page(...).WebButton("value:=Yes").Exist Then
     MsgBox "Yes button exist"

else if Browser(....).Page(....).WebButton(value:=No").Exist Then

     MsgBox "No button exist"
End if

I hope the above example answered your question.

We can handle the dynamic objects using regular expression
But, to handle dynamic link we have to use herf property

Friends,

The question how to recognise an object which is dynamic.? Not clear how can we implement regular expression.

We can use if you know part of the string which is of name of object or name of the property then we can use reg expression?

How can we use for dyn objects...Please clarify me?

Raj

use .* in place of title of the webpage enclosed in quotes. here '.'"(dot) means any character and'*"(star) means any number of characters. so for any kind of title it works.......
