[wtr-general] element search recursive?
I noticed that sometimes watir searches within its nested containers for items, and sometimes it does not. I would like to know the rules by which it decides to do so or not. For example, I noticed that in an Amazon.com page 'ie.link(:text, Advanced Search)' returned the same link as 'ie.table.link(:text, Advanced Search)' (here, table is a table element), which lead me to believe that watir will search sub-containers for the item requested. But when I was in the gmail web page, ie.text_fields returned a different set of items than ie.canvas_frame.text_fields (here, canvas_frame is a frame element), which puzzled me given my experience above.

Zeljko, I'm a pretty quick study. Would you mind taking a quick look and seeing why the demo fails? It would be instructive to me and I think to entire group.

The Send button appears to be a weird non-image button. I was frustrated in my attempts to get the button to flash using irb and the ie toolbar. I'd be interested to learn how to fix this.

[wtr-general] Re: installing watir behind a firewall on Windows
Bret, I do believe that all of the necessary gems were copied over; it seems to me that I cannot find the right options to the gem install command to get it to see the gems in the cache directory. I like your all- out method of copying the entire ruby directory, but I may have some trouble since that zip file will contain .exe files. I would be really interested in learning what the proper gem install command would be, in any case (and where the copied gem cache should reside for it to work).

This number is rapidly increasing. To me this is not a practical option. Better would be just to install on a machine with network access and then copy the entire ruby directory.
