[wtr-general] Re: canxth element
I feel obligated to point out one thing here: Per the current (and the earliest of) HTML standards, values for id attributes are supposed to be UNIQUE within a document(page). id=name Define a reference name for the tag that is UNIQUE in the document. (emphasis mine) There are parts of Watir (identifying objects by ID value) and other tools and perhaps even browsers that expect pages to adhere to the HTML standard and will not function correctly if the page violates the standards and contains 'invalid HTML' such as this. You should file a bug to inform the appropriate parties that the web pages are violating HTML standards by using the same 'ID' attribute values repeatedly within the same document. 'class' and many other attributes can appear as many times, with identical values, as you want.. the restriction to 'uniqueness' applies only to the 'id' attribute so far as I know.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Saving Javascript Files
Hi Ethan,
Thanks for the response on this. I ended up writing a simple proxy which I
point watir at and saves *everything* down as it goes. It's been working out
great.
Thanks
Brendan

If the script's src attribute is set to a relative path then you'll have to
combine it with the page's url to get an absolute path, but that shouldn't be
too hard.

Hi Tiffany,
I realize water is a ruby library that interacts with web browsers. I also
realize it's easy to enumerate all the linked script files with something
like:
jscripts = ie.document.getElementsTagName(script)
jscripts.each do |js|
puts Javascript file is located at: #{js.invoke('src')}
#Easy way to download javascript file? I could do this I guess:
javascritpt_content = ie.goto(js.invoke('src')).html # Obviously have
to account for relative urls here
end
I was wondering more if there was a built in way.
Thanks anyway

[wtr-general] Re: [Wtr-development] Vapir
The biggest change in Vapir is that class names have been systematically changed. We've been reluctant to make these changes in Watir because it would lead to a lot of compatibility problems for people who have extended the existing Watir classes. I'm happy to reconsider if there really is a demand for this kind of change. If I was starting from scratch and didn't have any legacy users, I'd probably propose making most of the changes that Ethan made. But I have found that Watir users have very little stomach for introducing incompatible changes. If there is stuff you like in Vapir that is compatible, please let us know.

Regards, Tim On 06/05/2010, at 3:47, Ethan notet...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Watir people, I am happy to announce the release of the Vapir library, which is a fork of Watir and FireWatir. It is documented primarily at the github wiki at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/ Documentation is sorely lacking at the moment, and improving it is my highest priority, but putting the code out for people to use preceded that. Links to other aspects of the forked project are listed athttp://vapir.org/ The API is in most cases the same, with some changes where I felt it was best; these are enumerated at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/differences-from-watir-api It is a release candidate currently, and can be installed using the --pre flag to rubygems (rubygems 1.3.6 is required; run gem update --system if you are on an earlier version). gem install --pre vapir-firefox gem install --pre vapir-ie Major improvements over Watir are: - Modal dialog API which is (mostly) consistent between IE and Firefox -http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/modal-dialogs - Unified codebase for both Firefox and IE interaction - basically, everything that works in IE works in Firefox as well, which is not the case with FireWatir. - Many bug fixes and feature enhancements for issues in Watir's issue tracker, which will be documented more thoroughly on the wiki in the coming days. I would encourage any questions or discussion to go to Vapir's mailing list, not Watir's. The forked project is intended to stand on its own, separate from the Watir library due to a great deal of changes in the codebase which make it to some degree (a small degree, hopefully) incompatible.

Hi Brendan,
Sharing is caring...can we see what you put together? Who knows, I may
need something like this in the future.
Thanks,
