Hope this helps
First: HTML for a file upload field will resemble something like this
where the attribute "type" dictates that its a file upload file. A
built-in attribute of the input is that it will automatically give you
the "BROWSE" button
<input tabindex="101" name="uploadfile" size="30" maxlength=""
onchange="setvalue(this);" value="" type="file">
To click the file upload button all you need to do is click in the
field or the button. It can be done using autoIT.
1. Assume the name of the file upload element is 'uploadfile' and
there is a text_field (with the id sample) prior to it which is
exactly 1 tab click from it.
2. Set focus to the field immediately before the 'uploadfile' by using
standard WATIR ie.text_field(:id,'sample').click. (See sample code
below)
3. Next using autoIT TAB to the next field ('uploadfile) and press
ENTER to open the popup
4. Run the popup form fill using AutoIT
5. Return to the main and continue
Step 1 Set Focus to the element 1 Tab keypress before the file upload
element
myAutoIT = WIN32OLE.new("AutoitX3.Control")
ie.text_file(:id,"Sample").click # SET FOCUS TO field 1 tab click
before uploadfile element
Step 2. Use TAB and ENTER Keys to move to the upload input and open
the POPUP
myAutoIT.Send("{TAB}") # Tab to the upload field
myAutoIT.Send("{ENTER}") # Press the enter key to open the popup
Step 3. The POPUP is Open so fill it in with what we want
myAutoIT.WinWaitActive("File Upload","",15) # Set focus to the
popup
myAutoIT.Send("{ALT}n") # Move to the file name field in the popup
myAutoIT.Send(sFileName) # Enter the Path and File Name
myAutoIT.ControlClick("File Upload","","&Open")
Step 4. Back in the main application
... etc
