Ok, So I came across a strange issue clicking on this drop down in watir. but I don't get the same thing using watir-webdriver.
I can click the button and it should open the drop down(list) and I should be able to click on one of the items in that list. but when watir fires the click i see it clicking but it does not open the drop down(list) watir-webdriver fires the click opens the dropdown and allows me to select the item in the list i want. any suggestions? So here is the code on the page <http://www.etsy.com/>. <form action="http://www.etsy.com/search.php"; id="search-bar" class=""> <div class="" style="-moz-user-select: none; cursor: default;" id="search-facet" tabindex="0" aria-haspopup="true"> <label for="search-query">Handmade</label> <iframe style="display: none; width: 178px; height: 170px;" src="javascript:false;" id="search-facet-shim" tabindex="-1" longdesc="Decorative" title="" frameborder="0"></iframe> <ul id="search-facet-list" class="closed" tabindex="0"> <li class="handmade selected">Handmade</li> <li class="vintage">Vintage</li> <li class="supplies">Supplies</li> <li class="all">All Items</li> <li class="people">People</li> <li class="shops">Shops</li> </ul> </div> <div class="input-group"> <input autocomplete="off" value="" name="search_query" id="search-query" class="text" tabindex="0" type="text"><div style="top: 42px; left: 0px; width: 369px; display: none;" id="search-suggestions"></div> <button id="search_submit" name="search_submit" type="submit"> Search </button> </div> <input value="handmade" name="search_type" id="search-type" type="hidden"> </form> now you would think that a simple. b.label(:for => 'search-query').click b.li(:text => 'Supplies').click but it doesn't at least not with watir, watir-webdriver on the other hand works just fine #chrome: irb ruby-1.8.7-p334 :001 > require 'rubygems' => true ruby-1.8.7-p334 :002 > require 'watir-webdriver' => true ruby-1.8.7-p334 :003 > b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome => #<Watir::Browser:0x101a9ebb8 url="about:blank" title="about:blank"> ruby-1.8.7-p334 :004 > b.goto 'http://www.etsy.com ruby-1.8.7-p334 :005'> => "http://www.etsy.com/"; ruby-1.8.7-p334 :006 > b.label(:for => 'search-query').html => "<label for=\"search-query\">Handmade</label>" ruby-1.8.7-p334 :007 > b.label(:for => 'search-query').click => [] ruby-1.8.7-p334 :008 > b.li(:text => 'Supplies').html => "<li class=\"supplies\">Supplies</li>" ruby-1.8.7-p334 :009 > b.label(:for => 'search-query').click => [] ruby-1.8.7-p334 :010 > b.li(:text => 'Supplies').click => [] and with firefox #firefox irb ruby-1.8.7-p334 :001 > require 'rubygems' => true ruby-1.8.7-p334 :002 > require 'watir-webdriver' => true ruby-1.8.7-p334 :003 > b = Watir::Browser.new :ff => #<Watir::Browser:0x101a9ec08 url="about:blank" title=""> ruby-1.8.7-p334 :004 > b.goto "http://www.etsy.com"; => "http://www.etsy.com/"; ruby-1.8.7-p334 :005 > b.label(:for => 'search-query').click => [] ruby-1.8.7-p334 :006 > b.li(:text => 'Supplies').click => [] ruby-1.8.7-p334 :007 > b.close => true ruby-1.8.7-p334 :008 > Thanks Oscar http://www.thechort.com/blog/ -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
