This is fixed in 1.4.1

Hi,
I have downloaded Watir 1.4 and got the following error while trying to
access 'to_s' method of 'P' element.
My script accesses the 'P' element using the 'id' attribute. The code
looks like this:
1. element = $ie.p(:id,"pElement")
2. puts element.type
3. puts element.to_s
The exact error is:
P
d:/installations/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2211:in
`span_div_string_creator': undefined method `style' for
#<Watir::P:0x2ac7f38> (NoMethodError)
from
d:/installations/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2222:in `to_s'
from testXpath.rb:10
The 'P' on first line is shown due to line no.2 of the code shown above
but when I try to access 'to_s' method it gives an error.
I think there is a bug in the 'span_div_string_creator' method of 'class
SpanDivCommon'
The code of this function looks like this in version 1.4:
# this method is used to populate the properties in the to_s method
def span_div_string_creator
n = []
n << "style:".ljust(TO_S_SIZE) + self.style
n << "text:".ljust(TO_S_SIZE) + self.text
return n
end
private :span_div_string_creator
Now when we try to do 'self.style' an error is thrown because there is no
property or method called 'style' for 'IHTMLParaElement' whose object we
access in watir.
For more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/paraelement/paraelement.asp
This link from MSDN shows that 'IHTMLParaElement' has only one property
called 'align'
Similarly while accessing 'SPAN' element I got the same error because
'IHTMLSpanFlow' element also contains only 'align' property.
For more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/spanflow/spanflow.asp
This holds true from 'DIV' element also because 'IHTMLDivElement' contains
properties 'noWrap' and 'align'
For more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/divelement/divelement.asp
Or am I missing something completely here?

Angrez
