im not sure if i understand this correctly.
text = $ie.text <-- so, this is bad because we cant be sure if the
rebinding happens just in time when we need it.
would the following approach be better?:
class Page
def initialize ie
@ie = ie
end
def text
@ie.text
end
end
p = Page.new ie
puts p.text
the watir expressions are now wrapped in methods but i cant see how
the object binding could be different from using global vars. I hope
someone can enlighten me on this ;)
