[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir bug/anomaly
I think there are 2 bugs here.
1. Firewatir does not issue an error when users use undefined methods.
2. SelectList#set needs to be defined as an alias for SelectList#select
(as it is in IE-Watir).

Can somebody put this in JIRA so that we can make Firewatir/Watir more
compatible?

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir bug/anomaly
there is some functionality in firewatir ( at least the version that I had
been using) that doesnt generate exceptions when there is a javascript
exception. Id fixed this some where once ( probably in a local copy of
firewatir) , but I guess the code got lost

Alex, thanks very much. I should have thought of some of that
myself-- it has been some time since I've worked closely with Watir.
Seems like I should have gotten a NoMethodError trying what I did, but
I'm glad that there *is* a right method.

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir bug/anomaly
I've just had a quick look, also on FF3/Mac.
The issue is not that the select_list element is invisible - you can
address it correctly as show by calling:
@browser.select_lists
or
@browser.select_list(:id, 'cAbb')
Calling the "methods" method on the element reveals that the "set"
method you are calling is not present. I was surprised to see that
this method exists - I've always used the "select" method, which works
fine. The RDoc reveals that set should be an alias for select.
I would suggest using the select method for the time being:
@browser.select_list(:id,"cAbb").select("software jobs")
However, if you wish to use the set method, add the following code to
your firewatir/htmlelements.rb file in the SelectList class beneath
the select method's definition:
alias :set :select
Best wishes,
Alex

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir bug/anomaly
Try to print out html for that select_list to make sure that you are
really dealing with the correct select_list and there aren't any
hidden ones or whatsoever. Or try just plain old .flash method to see
if correct list is flashing :)
