As i remember then OperaWatir has similar functionality to jQuery finders.
Doing jQuery finders is easy, since it is almost already supported by using
:css as locator. The hard part is what to do with the results. Here's an
example:
browser.element(".row).clickWhat should that line above do? Should it click only on the first result or should it click on every result? I find myself pretty often confused as to what function call will be invoked on all results found by jquery and what is invoked only on the first one. We could however simplify it to always work on the first result. In other words - we could allow only one parameter for #element to be used with css selectors like jquery does. However i'm not sure this would be the thing needed for increasing popularity of Watir (is watir not so popular anymore?). J.
