great! I will try it later... i was toying with
ie.document.forms(i).elements(i) and it doesn't seem to support the
before_text() method. I will try this method on text_field..

My purpose is to find the preceding text to 'guess' what possible
value to enter into the text field. Thanks eveyrone :)

boonhoo
