You don't get back the specific object type from element_by_xpath, so some methods don't work. But this works:
b = Watir::IE.new b.goto 'http://www.google.com/' txt = b.element_by_xpath("//*...@name='q']") txt.value = 'Richard Lawrence' btn = b.element_by_xpath("//*...@name='btnG']") btn.click So you might try the value property instead of the set method.
