[wtr-general] Question on Sendkeys XPATH
Hi All, Im new to Watir, coming from a QTP background. I'm using the following Ruby 1.8.7, Rubygems 1.3.6, Watir 1.6.6 on a Windows 7 X64 system. I happen to need to run multiple 'modules' at the same time on 1 box. Would it be possible to implement a separate instance of 'send_keys' per each run? If the 'modules' happen to use 'sendkeys' at the same time, the whole script gets messed up (focus, typing and sending on the wrong browser). I was also looking at XPATH to avoid using sendkeys (trying to click actual objects); but I am stumped with the syntax to get it working.. please help? Like with and without regex methods please. b.element_by_xpath(// i...@class='CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell']/).click b.image(:xpath, // i...@class='CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell']/).click None of them seem to get the desired result; (I'm assuming this for instances that I wont be able to get a unique id or name) Here is a sample structure: td class=CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell id=Master_PageContentPlaceHolder_screen_ctl01_bc8ee8e9_1efe_463b_9e46_780e216598f1_screen_jobTitleCombo_ContainerRightImageCell jQuery1286272679885=60 img class=CreateRequestComboRightImage id=Master_PageContentPlaceHolder_screen_ctl01_bc8ee8e9_1efe_463b_9e46_780e216598f1_screen_jobTitleCombo_RightImage src=/XXX/Theme/AttachmentHandler.ashx?

I think your html code is not enough for others to understand. Wesley. For life, the easier, the better.

Re: [wtr-general] Question on Sendkeys XPATH
1) send_keys isn't going to work with two things trying to send_keys simultaneously. 2) send_keys is almost never a good solution, in my experience, doing through the dom via watir's api is better. 3) your xpath refers to an image with class of CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell but the thing that has that class is a table. 4) you don't really need xpath for this, watir's api is simpler: b.table(:class, 'CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell') will get the table and you can get the image inside that.
