Yeah dealing with stuff like this where it's all dynamically driven, events based, and there are many many nested objects on the screen is a challenge. Especially since it looks like the events and other things are defined in entirely different areas of the code..
For example at the URL given above, this is what you have to do, to get the 'long text' tab to react to mouseover.. browser.li(:id, 'ext-comp-1001__ext-comp-1003').fire_event ('onMouseOver') And lo, when you do that, a bunch of html instantly changes, the page is now different slightly, some clases have changed and as a result styles change, etc. but here's the rub.. try to figure out where that action is defined that caused it to respond to that event? (we KNOW it's defined somewhere, we just saw it work if you tried that code, the color slightly changed, and if you were watching with ie-dev-toolbar you could see the class of that thing changed (which changed the color due to inheriting fromn CSS) You can brute force this stuff to some degree, but the problem is, unless you have some clue as to what elements are responding to what events, you have a ton of stuff to try before you get lucky and find out what's going on. If it was me that had to do this, I'd post a message in one of their forums <http://extjs.com/forum/> and see if anyone as succesfully automated tests against their tabs, and ask how it was done. Maybe get some clues as to what needs to happen. since I've tried a LOT of stuff just now to automate a simple tab selection on their site and failed utterly. conversely the app I test has (non extjs) tabs in it like that, and I don't have any problem automating it by simply firing 'click' events on the links in the tabs.
