Actually, lets ask that a slightly different way. If you were a human, looking at the report in a browser, how would you verify it was correct? what would you look at, how would you know where to locate things? are there labels or identifiers that are in a fixed relation to the values you need to examine? Usually it's possible to construct your tests to mimic that logic, instead of looking for a specific cell location (row,column). That or if testability is important, you may want to ask your developers to generate HTML that is easier to test and verify, such as giving predictable name or ID values to cells holding specific data that needs to be validated. Potentially it could cost a LOT less developer time to make a few simple changes to make this stuff easier to automate, than having you have to review it manually, or create brittle unreliable tests that can't be trusted. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
