firewatir's execute_script executes in the context of the very top level
exposed by jssh, which is different than the top level that's available to
the web page. in jssh you can control the browser itself to a much greater
extent than is possible through a page (which is how firewatir works).
a top-level variable on the page is defined on the content window object of
the browser. I don't know about in firewatir, but in vapir-firefox (my fork
of firewatir, which I highly recommend over firewatir), your script should
work because execute_script is defined in the context of the content window,
not the top level of the jssh environment.
or you can write your javascript in ruby, something like:
firefox.content_window_object.tinyMCE.get('editor_id').setContent('some
content')
see http://vapir.org/
If you want to stick with firewatir, you'll have to figure out a reference
to the content window object and evaluate your script in that context. I'm
not sure what that would be.
