acserve,
I think this is the reason the header rows are not displayed when using the
"to_a()" Watir method. This is the source of the "to_a()" method (`Watir.rb` :
Line 2432, v1.4.1 ):
def to_a
raise UnknownTableException , "Unable to locate a table using
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] " if @o == nil
y = []
table_rows = @o.getElementsByTagName("TR")
for row in table_rows
x = []
for td in row.getElementsbyTagName("TD")
x << td.innerText.strip
end
y << x
end
return y
end
I'm sure this message board won't format this aesthetically, but take a look at
the statement, " table_rows = @o.getElementsByTagName("TR")". It appears that
this particular method only starts grabbing cells from rows [i]only[/i], hence
the "TR". I believe this could be fixed by starting this logic with a check for
a "TH" row. Then the subsequent "x << td.innerText.strip" only retrieves cell
text values starting from the first row.
Hope this helps :)
