Re: [wtr-general] Can't find an element in a page with javascript:gotolink
Thanks everyone for your assistance. I managed to get it working with Zeljko's suggestions. It turns out the page eppears to be closing the main frame and opening another as a different name so I had to direct Watir to the new frame. xpath does look very interesting and I'll keep it in mind for future projects as well as test it against this one when the heat is off. It will probably make future projects a lot simpler. Mike. Quoting Dave McNulla : mss, from your attachment, I was able to find the link with xpath: browser.link(:xpath, "//a[contains(@href , 'showDownloadLanding.do')]").click Here's a tutorial on it: http://angrez.blogspot.com/2006/06/xpath-and-watir.html Good Luck, Dave -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Are you using Opera Dragonfly to inspect the page? (on my machine: view >

Something like this should work (not tested):
browser.frame(how, what).link(:href =>
"javascript:gotolink('showDownloadLanding.do')").click
or
browser.frame(how, what).link(:text => " download ebill ").click

Here's what opera tells me the link is:
download ebill
I'd send a link to the page but it's a secure login with our account
info which wouldn't go over well.
The link doesn't show up when I ask Watir to show links and only sees
a single frame.
I've tried to click on it by using href and text but neither finds the
element. I have been able to click using href on another similar Telus
page but not here.
