why are you firing the 'ondblclick' method? Normally if text in a cell is able to be clicked, it is because of one of two things are happening
1) the text is a link. in which case just use the .click method on the link element and it normally works 2) a container in the cell such as a div, 'h-tag' (like h3), label etc that holds the text is defined to invoke some JavaScript when a particular event happens (onMouseDown, onMouseUp, etc) In that case the easiest thing is generally to look at the HTML source for the page, find the text in question, and start working your way out through the elements that 'wrap' around the text looking for one that is specifying some JavaScript function that will be called when a given event happens.. Also as far as identifying the table itself.. ID values are always assumed by watir to follow HTML standards, which is to say that they are supposed to be UNIQUE on the page.. So using them in as part of a multiple attribute definition is pretty much not supported, nor encouraged. In your example above if there is truely no other way to identify the table other than index then you should just be doing something like browser.table(:index, 8) If you can post the HTML from that portion of the page, it would probably help to figure out what element is looking for what event On Jun 12, 5:52 am, Shiran Gunarathna <gdshi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am having an issue with clicking on cell.
