[Wtr-general] WIN32OLERuntimeError: unknown property or method

[Jason Alexander]

Thanks for everyone¹s help!

Actually, I found a workaround of sorts -

In my tests, I would grab a div and assign it to a variable and use that
variable throughout. The problem was, during the operations after the var
assignment, I would do some things that would cause postbacks. And, any
references after those postbacks seemed to have lost all context.

Removing the variable assignment and references and just calling straight to
div() fixed all the issues.

Very interesting, though. I¹m not sure if this would be considered a bug, or
a normal practice that I should watch out for going forward.
