Deprecate single argument api
-----------------------------
Key: WTR-438
URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-438
Project: Watir
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HTML Controls
Affects Versions: 1.6.5
Environment: windows
Reporter: Bret Pettichord
Currently there are several cases where things like browser.button("OK") work.
In this case it is interpreted as browser.button(:value, "OK"). The proposal is
deprecate this API, which is already little known and not documented much. In
other words, we would discourage this API in our docs and issue warnings when
people used it. However, it would still work, at least for IE.
Some day we might also decide to remove support entirely (in the interests of
simplicity and compatibility), but first we would need to deprecate it.
This issue came up in the discussion of
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-436
If there is interest in this, next step would be to come up with a
comprehensive list, which I can do.
