Hi Lisa, I think I found an example you're using here:
http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/test/dojo/tests/widget/test_Select.html I'm looking at Select #2 (dataUrl, autocomplete=true). The only way I could get it to work is by using send_keys: b = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Dojo/) test_field = b.span(:class => "dojoComboBoxOuter dj_ie", :index => 2).text_field(:class, "dojoComboBox") test_field.focus b.send_keys("florida") sleep 2 b.send_keys("{ENTER}") On May 23, 12:44 pm, Lisa Crispin <lisa.cris...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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.
