Hi,

I am pretty new to Watir and have few doubts.

1. Can watir read data from Excel ? Give me a Sample case
2. Can watir read data as well as object details from excel and put in the
script . Example i have an example with the page link( say www.google.com)
, Object details ("q") and values ("pixaxe")
and i want call all these details in excel

ie.text_field(:name,"q").set("Revolution") please convert this statement in
such a way that my doubt will be clarified.

PS: Note that i am new to watir so please use simple example and simple
explanation
Thanks in advance
