Thanks for you input Tiffany but when I run the script and execute in
IRB I get the following error message:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `ie' for main:Object
Is there something I have to set to intialize IE? On what operating
system did you execute the script since I have several installs of
ruby and watir and nothing is working for me.
When I execute the script it opens a new window, on that window
nothing happens, then it goes to my other window and loads up google
and throw the error message unable to find "q" then in IRB it shows me
this message. Do you have any idea on what is happening as I have been
through all the basic examples but none of my scripts are working,
even though they are very low level.
When I try to do ie.text_contains("valueX") if throws me back an error
stating undefined method for "contains". Am I missing something in my
set up or is it because of vista OS?
Thanks
