We are changing what used to be regular drop-down select list boxes to a
dojo widget thingie that allows type ahead to select the item. Here's the
HTML:
<select dojoType="dijit.form.FilteringSelect" id=advisor.dealerId
name=advisor.dealerId style='width: 550px;'>
<option value="0" >
</option>
<option value="1059" >
1717 Capital Management / 300 Continental Drive /
Suite 3 South / Newark, DE 19713-4329 /
</option>
...etc
I thought I could use text_field to set a value here, just as if I typed it
manually on the page. I tried "ie.text_field(:id,
'advisor.dealerId').set(<some value>). When I do this in irb, I see it set
the value, but when I submit, it shows the default value was selected
instead. I also tried fire_event("onclick"), that didn't help.
We were able to get our Canoo WebTest scripts to select these with its
"forceHiddenInputField" step. I thought maybe I could do something similar
in Watir with "input type=hidden", but I can't get the syntax right and I
can't find any examples. I can't figure out where I would put "input
type=hidden" in my text_field step.
Would someone please point me to examples that might help me figure this
out? I apologize if this is an ignorant question. I searched the mailing
list and the Watir site but I could not figure out how to make this work.
thanks,
Lisa
