Well using ie.show_active has given me very interesting results. What I had expected to be my text_field to be active was something totally different.
=> "HTML Document name= id=ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor_designEditor src=about:blank innerText= \n" irb(main):305:0> Clicking on the various dropdown that let me choose the attributes of the font displays what I expected - a series of select-one's Clicking on any of the font styling/formatting buttons (like Bold, Strikethru, centered, left-justified) also returns the HTML document type. I'm going to play around with this a little more. It is very interesting though. -Alan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Rogers Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 9:14 AM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir these things tend to intercept all the keystrokes too, so perhaps its harder than I orignally thought If you click in it and then from irb do ie.show_active you should see some of the details about it.
