Thank you for your clear report. This sounds like a new problem to me.
Using the current development tarball version, could you please include the line below right after you require 'watir'.
require 'watir'
Watir::SelectList::INPUT_TYPES << "select"
I think there is a good chance this will correct your problem. But i also think your programmers are creating odd html. I can find no references to TYPE="SELECT" being correct.

In our in house webpage we found that some of the select lists use a attribute TYPE="SELECT" when we tried to get a handle on these SELECT_LIST objects watir failed with the cannot find object error. We did some investigating and removed this attribute from the html, and watir then found the object with no problems. So my question is, is this a bug or a known issue and if so are there any workarounds or code updates that will resolve it? If you need more info please let me know.
Here's the HTML snippet with the offending attribute in red.
<tr>
<td class="label">
<DIV CLASS="required" pii="null" name="po_order_header.order_source.label" id="po_order_header.order_source.label" title="Order Source">Order Source</DIV></td><td class="field"><select pii="null" id="po_order_header.order_source" TYPE="SELECT" Name="po_order_header.order_source" tabindex="15" required="true"><OPTION VALUE="" title=""></OPTION><OPTION VALUE="AuthRep" title="">Authorized Representative</OPTION><OPTION VALUE="CapAnalyst" title="">Capacity Analyst</OPTION><OPTION VALUE="City" title="">City</OPTION><OPTION VALUE="Collection" title="">Collections</OPTION></select>
</td>
</tr>
Thanks,
