[Wtr-general] Locating HTML objects
Hi, I am trying to locate some objects on my HTML page. I have used the method show_all_objects, but on the command screen I am just getting a freeze on this: snip C:\Program Files\Watir\Watir_Testsruby addCustomer.rb ---Objects in page - snip Could anyone give me a link to the Watir recorder, or an alternative method to find objects please?

Aidy, You can use the Internet Explorer developer toolbar to view objects and the DOM for a page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e59c3964-672d-4511-bb3e-2d5e1db91038displaylang=en-CharleyOn 5/26/06, Adrian Rutter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi,I am trying to locate some objects on my HTML page.

Re: [Wtr-general] Locating HTML objects
I do not know if this is related to your problem, but I had trouble
with show_all_objects because I expected it to return a string, but it
does not.
To get a string instead (which you can print yourself, or put in an
array . . .), you can add a new method to Watir:
class Watir::IE
def get_all_objects
#puts "---Objects in page -"
doc = ie.document
s = ""
props=["name" ,"id" , "value" , "alt" , "src"]
doc.all.each do |n|
begin
s = s + n.invoke("type").to_s.ljust(16)
rescue
next
end
props.each do |prop|
begin
p = n.invoke(prop)
s = s + " " + "#{prop}=#{p}".to_s.ljust(18)
rescue
# this object probably doesnt have this property
end
end
s = s + "\n"
end
# s + "\n\n\n"
s # Just return the string.
end
end
Name it anything you want. This is just show_all_objects(), modified to
return a string. You can also remove items from the "props" array if
you are just looking for specific things like name or id. So you could
have "get_all_ids()" or "get_all_names()" for example.
Put this in a .rb file somewhere in your project. Your /lib directory
is a good place. You could make a /lib.w_extensions.rb for example.
