Z wrote sometime back in Dec I have created a table of all HTML elements and added data which Watir gem (watir, watir-webdriver, safariwatir) supports each element and/or it's collection.
I thought watir-webdriver implemented aliases for tr and td as row and cell, I see them in the rdoc. but they are not shown on your chart. I like that you have the column for the plural form. What does the color coding mean? It might be good to perhaps consider coloring the 'alias' methods that are not the same as a tag, such as cell, text_field, etc. Speaking of which, what's our position on those? Are those deprecated? or should we encourage their use under the basis of more readable code? I'm a bit torn on that as I like .row better than .tr and .link over .a but at the same time I wonder if we should be encouraging testers to learn the html tag names. I think I've lost count of the number of times we've had someone complaining that 'clicking a link does not work' and then you see their html and the thing they are trying to click is an li (list item) tag, not an a (anchor aka link) tag. I guess I forget that when I tested my first web-app I didn't know html very well either. _______________________________________________ Wtr-development mailing list Wtr-development@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-development
