Željko,
Thanks for referring to the firefox addon I was able to get the xpath for
the text element i'm trying to get.
Here is how it looks
/html/body/form/table/tbody/tr[2]/td/table/tbody/tr/td[3]/table/tbody/tr[2]/t...@class='rptName'
and position()=2]/text()
I tried using the second option you suggested but I cant use that as the
tables have no attributes and that is why I thought Xpath would be the best
option.
here is what i have tried so far
$browser.cell(:xpath, "//t...@class='rptName']/")
and that returns
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate element, using
:xpath, "//t...@class='rptName']"
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/element.rb:56:in
`assert_exists'
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/element.rb:119:in
`to_s'
FI_16_FI_Login_Sanity.rb:182:in `puts'
FI_16_FI_Login_Sanity.rb:182:in `test_i_runAllClientReports'
FI_16_FI_Login_Sanity.rb:169:in `each'
FI_16_FI_Login_Sanity.rb:169:in `test_i_runAllClientReports'
Can you please let me know if i'm doing the right thing?
Thanks again.
BK
