I have been using Watir for two days now and want to know about how to
modify the source watir.rb file. I installed the one-click install of
Watir. What did that do exactly? Does it install pre-compiled files, or
is everything source-based?
What I'm trying to do is modify the watir.rb file so

Hi Brian,Just a thought, how about using regular expressions for matching name of such controls, whose value changes upon the way they are embedded inside the other controls? In that way you don't have to change the
watir.rb file.Regards,Angrez

Excellent! Thank you very much. This makes my life
a whole lot easier. I realize the "/" signifies the start and end of a regex,
butWhat does the $ mean?

especially when using the scripts to simply input values and check

if I put the domain of the webpage that's causing problems into my 'Trusted Sites' in IE settings, it also gets around the 'Access denied' problems with frames.
For test purposes, I always have my IE set to the lowest possible security. This eliminates a lot of trouble. -Chris

For
example people have been using Perl rather than Bash for system admin for
years.
Traditionally
people using Bash have use a lot of other languages such as sed and awk to do
their work.

main advantages of using a langauge like Perl or Ruby are:

portability over operating

Why is this, do you think? OK, XML syntax is pretty standard, but
the semantics will have to be learned. At least with Ruby
Thanks for sharing your solution. Very helpful.

Hi there, I am trying to find a way to find a particular string in an
HTML page and save it to a variable. It seems simple enough, but
I can't find the commands to help me do it yet.
Our Dot-Net app assigns Unique ID's to various objects within the
system. For example, if you create a new
I always like to use the _javascript_
objects. So one way is to be able to get the _javascript_ underlying object from
the div reference in WATIR. Then when you get that just call the getAttribute()
method on that object and pull out the attribute that you would like. Another
way would be
Yes, this is one of the options need be considered.

Tonight's example: parsing an HTML document to find a
