Um, presuming '3rd and 4th' appears on the screen in the same order as it's found in the tom, then why not browser.text_field(:name => "TF_1", :index => 2).set "hello" browser.text_field(:name => "TF_1", :index => 3).set "hello" You can put that into a loop if you want and use a variable for the index (which starts at zero unless you enable one based indexing) and best of all, no need to mess around with xpath -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
