Hi, I am new to Watir. I have been using AutoIT for a lot of my automation, and find that in some instances I am unable to do what I need due to the complicated scripting of webpages. I looked into other languages and thought Watir would be a nice fit for what I need.
I have a few questions, I was hoping someone might be able to answer. 1) Syntax, Looking at different examples on the web I see the sometimes ie.frame(:index, 1) is used and other times ie.frame(:index => 1) is used, what is the difference? Sometimes one works for me other times they don't. 2)Output, How do I see what I am doing? With Autoit, I was able to see what i was doing via the console? I would find the object, and print out the innerhtml to make sure I was in the correct spot? Is there something similar in Watir? Is there a command to see the text and / or html of an object? 3)I am having issues connecting to frames. I connect to IE fine, and then run ie.show_frames It prints out a list of frames on the screen. I try the syntax ie.frame(:index, 1) and i get an error message stating located=false If I try ie.frame(:index, 1).locate, it seems that I get connected. But then when I try going deeper into another nested frame I keep getting error messages. I visited the wiki page http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Frames and when I try their example ie.frame(:name, "frame").frame(:name, "nested_frame") this doesn't work I'm assuming because this doesn't work - ie.frame(:name, "frame") I would appreciate any help available Thanks, Mike -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
