I've been using Watir to write tools for the ExtJS desktop environment. In this; every time anything is done, random IDs are generated, which makes it 'challenging'.
Luckily, most similar elements (for instance form text entry fields) are the same. So I've designed a set of functions which search through the screen for my chosen element by our field name (say 'Address'), then use a regex to work back/forward to get the id of the element, which is often several tags away. I can then manipulate that ID in the normal fashion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
