Naresh,
Yes it is possible to use Ruby and Watir to access various elements
on a HTML page,
retrieve their attributes and save the results.
1) You can identify the number of a particular object on a page such
as
a text field's by using Watir's "length" method for the
"text_field" object.
For example:
numberOfTextFields = browser.text_fields.length
which returns an integer value. Similar methods exist for radios,
select_list, etc.
2) Watir also provides methods to read the settings of various
attributes from any particular object.
For example if t he length method told me I had 2 text_fileds on
the page I could use the following
to save the setting of each attribute into a variable:
#-------------------------#
# Attributes of text_field 1
#-------------------------#
tf1_enabled = browser.text_field(:index, 1).enabled?
tf1_contents = browser.text_field(:index, 1).getContents
tf1_id= browser.text_field(:index, 1).id
tf1_max=browser.text_field(:index, 1).maxLength
tf1_name= browser.text_field(:index, 1).name
tf1_size= browser.text_field(:index, 1).size
tf1_title= browser.text_field(:index, 1).title
tf1_type= browser.text_field(:index, 1).type
tf1_value=browser.text_field(:index, 1).value
#-------------------------#
# Attributes of text_field 2
#-------------------------#
tf2_enabled = browser.text_field(:index, 2).enabled?
tf2_contents = browser.text_field(:index, 2).getContents
tf2_id= browser.text_field(:index, 2).id
tf2_max=browser.text_field(:index, 2).maxLength
tf2_name= browser.text_field(:index, 2).name
tf2_size= browser.text_field(:index, 2).size
tf2_title= browser.text_field(:index, 2).title
tf2_type= browser.text_field(:index, 2).type
tf2_value=browser.text_field(:index, 2).value
3) Now that we've use Watir to access the browser and capture the
state of each
object into a variable, you can use Ruby method to store those
values
into anything you wish, be that a Database, or a file, as was
addressed
in previous replies to your question
FYI: Info on the Watir can be found at:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home
and in the Watir RDoc at:

Hope this helps,
Joe
