Firstly, actual 'results' for each of those --especially if it's an error message, but even if it's 'nothing got clicked and the script kept running'-- are really really helpful to the people you are asking to assist you. Secondly lets look at each of your items in turn. @browser.span(:class,"tabLoading").click Presuming for a moment this did not give an error, and that there is but one single span in the entire page with this class, then you might try clicking the parent. Given that the span had an ID that did not appear to be randomly generated, I'd suggest using that instead, since they are supposed to be unique on the page, to identify the element you want @browser.span(:id => "divCustomerLinesTabTab").click or maybe try clicking it's parent, a link, something more commonly clicked @browser.span(:id => "divCustomerLinesTabTab").parent.click Next you tried @browser.link(:href,"http://TestApp:8080/CustomerManagement/<http://testapp:8080/CustomerManagement/> ").click * * I don't generally use the entire URL when selecting by href because it will change if your test env changes. Either go for a partial match using a portion of the url as a regex, or use something else like the link text (presuming you don't expect that to change often) However in this case, the href given is nothing like the value you supplied, so I would expect it to generate an error that it could not locate the object. If you want to select that by href, then your code should have looked more like this @browser.link(:href => "#divCustomerLinesTab").click Next you had this, trying to click the anchor tag (link) by the text * * @browser.a(:text,"CustomerLines").click * * This is another thing I'd expect to generate a not found error, since the link text you give above, does not match the HTML you gave. Presuming the HTML is right, you should be using something like this (I use 'link' instead of the tag name 'a' since a lot of folks think of anchor tags as 'links' and for me anyway I feel it's more readable code. @browser.link(:text => "Customer Lines").click A good way to test this stuff out is to use IRB, and try out the commands against the browser that way. Using the .flash method first (as Super Kevy showed hin his answer) is a good way to see if you are really locating the thing you think you are. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
