Re: [Wtr-general] custom attributes

[Prema Arya]

Hi Paul,

You can use xpath to address the elements having custom attributes.

For example, to access the following input tag

<input type="text" name="aa" mytag="paul">

using xpath the code would look like this:

inText = ie.text_field(:xpath , "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'paul']/")
puts inText

Some one asked me off list if they could access the mytag part of some
html like the following

<input type = text name = aa mytag=paul>

With the 1.5.1-1145 gem you can do this:

puts ie.text_field(:index,1).ole_object.mytag
returns 'paul'


this doesnt seem to work though:

ie.text_field(:mytag ,/p/).flash
causes a MissingWayOfFindingObjectException

Hope that helps others too.

Paul
