Thanks to all for your help. I've tried the three solutions suggested
in the previous two replies. The last one found the text field value
FOO, the first two did not. I put the following code in my script:
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "FooBar Report")
if assert(ie.text_field(:id,'ctl140_ctl00_ctl09_txtValue').value ==
'FOO')
puts " FOO Found"
else
puts " FOO Not Found"
end
if assert(ie.text_field(:name,'ctl140$ctl00$ctl09$txtValue').value ==
'FOO')
puts " FOO Found"
else
puts " FOO Not Found"
end
if ie.text_field(:value,'FOO').exists?
puts " FOO Found"
else
puts " FOO Not Found"
This returns the following:
FOO Not Found
FOO Not Found
FOO Found
Given the HTML from my latest post, it seems like all of these should
find FOO. Maybe I'm using 'assert' incorrectly? Newbie growing
pains!
