See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16574999/watir-webdriver-unable-to-identify-button-by-value
for sample HTML and IRB results
Basically given HTML such as
<button type="button" class="btn fb-user-type" value="is_agent">An
Agent</button>
<button type="button" class="btn fb-user-type" value="is_grower">A
Grower</button>
It is reasonable to expect that the following should work. But it fails.
b.button(:value => "is_agent").exists?
Strangely enough, watir seems to actually know the value.. if I use
b.button(:name => "fb-user-type").value
It will return "is_agent" as might be expected.
I believe this is because we use .button for both true button elements, and
input elements of type button. For the input elements there is no such thing as
included text, so the 'value' of the button is also the button text displayed
for the user So for an input of type button value == text
However for a true button element, the included text and the value are two
different things. As for the buttons above, I can in fact select them, using
:value, but only if I provide the included text "An Agent" as the 'value' to be
matched. (if I wanted to do that, I'd be using :text) which is, well, wrong.
