Should I just update the Wiki page for this portion or the quickstart/ tutorial ? or are there only specific folks that should be updating those pages? I also found one other discrepency that I noted, which was at the point where the quickstart had me enter ie.text_field(:name, "q").set "Watir

A few things to check before the other more experienced folks chime in is the field name the same each time the page is rendered? name not duplicated elsewhere in the page code? have you tried an attribute other than 'name' that might be used to identify the field? On Nov 10, 1:54 am, Giri <[

I think JArkelen points out something fairly valuable here. we're overloading the term 'logger' and that's causing confusion.. perhaps using more distinct nomenclature would be good? In my view there is both "Logging" used for debugging of scripts or how exactly the application is failing when s
