[wtr-general] Re: Issue with the wrapper built around the ".text" method in Firewatir

Dear Ethan, We had to do this because the ".text" method in firewatir removes all the newlines before returning the text while in watir it returns the text with newlines. In certain scenarios, we need to split the returned text on newline to extract the required text which was impossible using the

[wtr-general] Re: Question About Watir

Hi! Is there a part of the id values that is unique and consistent? If so, you could use a regex. For example if your id is 'field_id_XXX' where XXX is a number that is auto-generated: browser.text_field(:id, /field_id/).set('My Text') Are there other attributes that are available (:name, :cla

[wtr-general] Question About Watir

Hi I am automating a website where every time the ID's change and my scripts need to cope with this change. For example if I click on a link and next time the value of the link will change. Is there any scope or any implementation that can be implemented to cope with this. I have talked with a de

Re: [wtr-general] Issue with the wrapper built around the ".text" method in Firewatir

Why is this necessary? This looks very fragile and error-prone to me. What problem does this solve? Returning text without tags and html entities is the point of the #text method, and the code that does this (which is in firefox itself) is much more robust. On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 01:50, Betsy wr

[wtr-general] FYI for handling mutliple IE windows in IE8 when you dont want to share session variables

Just wanted to share that if you are performing load testing using Watir like me and need to stop IE from sharing your session variables between instances of IE winndows using IE8 you can do that. if you edit ie-process.rb in the watir gem changing: startup_command = "#{program_files}\\In
