I'm strongly in favor of supporting both if possible. I got around http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-115 by patching my own method with hard coded strings to match the IE 7 values. I didn't spend much time trying to figure out my own how to support IE 6 and IE 7.
This issue doesn't seem to affect WinClicker from what I have seen. -D -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Rogers Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 2:55 PM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Supporting IE 7 I think its important to support both at the moment, as Im sure many people still havent upgraded. Id seen these problems, but Im using 1.4 and I cant remember if I did something to make it work on both ie6 and 7 or just stuck with 6.
