What Would I do? The first thing I'd do is have a serious talk with my developers about this concept called 'testability' Then I'd ask to see their unit tests for this stuff and try to figure out how they are not going to break the first time the dev refactors the page. because yes you can access these by index, but since the index could easily change with the addition of just one more div above it on the page, it creates a test that tends to be very fragile, high maintainance, and prone to false alarms. None of that is good... having something simple like an ID or Title in the divs so that they can be easily identified will make life easier for everyone. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
