[wtr-general] Re: Need to click on a link which has only the class name.
I'd agree with the post above. Unless you have some other compelling reason, the approach above should be fine. In any event, $1 is returning nil in this code snippet: if /LI class=.*id=mainTabsId__CaseDetailsA class=(\S*) onclick=.*/ begin ie.link(:class, $1).click rescue = e rescueHandle(e) end else puts $1 # nil puts FAILED!

*LI class=x-tab-strip-closable x-tab-with-icon x-tab-strip-active id=mainTabsId__CaseDetailsA class=x-tab-strip-close onclick=return false;/A* ** Mahesh, If that's the link source code then, Try this, if ie.link(:class, x-tab-strip-closable x-tab-with-icon x-tab-strip-active).exist? == true begin ie.link(:class, x-tab-strip-closable x-tab-with-icon x-tab-strip-active).click rescue = e rescueHandle(e) end else puts FAILED! Could not find Class for Close Button return false end Let me know if it works.
