[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir and unicode IDs/input, etc... Works with Watir/IE...
For anyone interested, I did get this to work after all - I needed to add these two lines to my spec_helper.rb (or whatever setup file you may be using): $KCODE = "u" WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 Firefox then works with Japanese, German, etc - though some things are a bit more limited than IE still. For example, you can do this in IE: @browser.button(:value, "続行").click But this won't work with non-English characters in FF... But unicode strings in most other places do work, e.g.: @browser.button(:id, "continue").value.should == "続行" will pass... Selecting items from lists, etc is also working correctly BTW, what is happening with previous messages on Google groups? All my previous messages on this thread are now blank...

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir and unicode IDs/input, etc... Works with Watir/IE...
Bret, I suspected the JSSH plugin might be to blame but don't know
anything about its' internal workings. Does anyone know if it is
possible to get it to accept UTF-8 encoding? Is anyone here able to
work with unicode input in Firefox?
Michael, the problems are with two byte Japanese characters but also
with any special characters in western languages that require unicode
support, such as accented characters - e.g. the "ä" in the German
string "Männlich". With Japanese, I can't work with the system at all,
as the HTML for most elements will look like this:
回答を選択してください
男性
女性
Now in the above example, you could argue that I could always use the
value number, like so:
@browser.select_list(:id, /[\w\d_-]+GENDER/).select_value("1")
And yes, this would work, but I need to be able to use the visible
text as well, like:
@browser.select_list(:id, /[\w\d_-]+GENDER/).select(/男性/)
And this only works in IE for me... Even if I adapt my scripts to use
the number values in select lists, I still have no way to input
Japanese characters into text fields or do assertions on Japanese text
read from labels and other elements. I would imagine there's a way to
get FireWatir to fully work with pages containing unicode elements but
I am stumped as to how to do so?
Regards,
John

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir and unicode IDs/input, etc... Works with Watir/IE...
Is it for Japanese chars(two bytes) or Western chars?
Do you have sample html codes that we can take a look?

Furthermore, I tried Željko's solution here:
http://zeljkofilipin.com/2007/02/26/enter-non-english-character-in-text-field/
Works perfectly with Watir/IE - I adapted the example for FireWatir:
require 'watir'
require 'win32ole'
Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox'
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open("C:/data.xls") # open file
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1) # the first worksheet
cell = worksheet.Range('a1')['Value'] # value of single cell
@browser = Watir::Browser.start("http://www.google.com/";)
@browser .text_field(:index, 1).set(cell) # set text field to value
from cell
And the "Männlich" string becomes garbage:
"MÃÂÂÂÂÂÂ
¤nnlich"
Not sure what else to try... FF itself is set to UTF-8 page encoding
and displays all unicode fine - it's only values manipulated/input by
my scripts that are being messed up...

My guess is that the problem lies with the encoding used over the socket
that connects to the JSSH plugin.
