[wtr-general] Watir and Quibids
I've tried for a couple hours trying to find the right combination of: browser.button(:id, 929940484).click to click the button on the Quibids.com item-specific page but have had zero luck. It keeps giving Unable to Locate Element error. I have also tried :value of Bid Now. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Can't .click an a in watir-webdriver
First off: I'm using twitter bootstrap to create a JS modal. When the modal pops up, I can close it by (mouse) clicking on the following element: a class=btn href=javascript:void(0); data-dismiss=modalClose/a The problem is, I can't do a .click on that element using watir-webdriver - it just blocks indefinitely. I can fire an onclick event, but that causes other issues. Any ideas why .click doesn't work? Any pointers on how to investigate whats going on? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] Watir and Quibids.com
Hi Tommy, I need you to be a bit more specific in order to help you, What Bid now are you trying to click. On the main entry page there are at least 5 Bid Now buttons, are you trying to click on the first element or what? IE Developer tools lists the first Bid Now as div class=271302023 id=271302023 bid=Bid Now try using that identifier.

Re: [wtr-general] Installing watir-classic on OSX 10.8.2 gives compile errors
LOL - thanks for setting me straight - I had no idea. To answer your question: to see if I can get around the issue I'm having with watir-webdriver atm. I can't get click() to work on certain elements. I've tried using fire_event as a workaround, which has other side-effects. This was the subject of other thread I had posted tonight. It contains a little more detail.

Re: [wtr-general] Can't .click an a in watir-webdriver
Looks like tonight its 2/2 to me for causing the issue ... I had a closer look at the code, and got a suspicion that maybe I was not clicking the right object. I went to the twitter bootstrap examples page and ran a similar test, and it worked fine. So, I did a more explicit selection for the element I was after, and surprise surprise found that the click() was working fine. We've got a few of those modals declared in the same page, and I guess I was not selecting the right one to call click() on... Thanks for getting back so quickly Željko. Cheers. -Nacho On Tuesday, December 4, 2012 10:09:19 PM UTC+10, Željko Filipin wrote: On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 9:37 AM, Nigel Smith nacho...@gmail.comjavascript: wrote: Any ideas why .click doesn't work?

[wtr-general] Hidden label (Div)
Hi, I'm fairly new to WATIR and to familiarize myself, I'm using Facebook as my website laboratory. So I can automate my login but when I try and automate the posts of status I'm now lost since the Post button will appear when the text area is clicked and I don't know how to do this in WATIR. Can anyone offer any assistance please? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
