Hillary, See if specifying the ASCII code for the Carriage Return will work. The Carriage Return is ASCII character 10.
Here an example in irb: irb(main):006:0> puts"a" + 10.chr + "b" + 10.chr + "c" a b c => nil So you code would be: b.text_field(:id, "x").set("a" + 10.chr + "b" + 10.chr + "c") Joe On Aug 15, 6:11 pm, hillary <weimar1...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a text area that allows the user to copy and past from a file values > that are separated by a carriage return like this: > a > b > c > > In watir, this code worked: > b.text_field(:id, "x").set("a > b > c") > > But when i tried this in web-driver it doesn't anymore.
