I think file fields are treated as a different type of object than text
fields.
But you should be able to set file fields using 'fileField'...here's
an example from the "filefield_test.rb" WATIR unit test:
$ie.fileField(:name,"file1").set($htmlRoot +
"fileupload.html")
Using this has worked fine for me so far, at least for for simple
file uploads.
Thanks

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to manipulate attaching filesI may have posted twice. Looks like the first one did not make it through.I have web application that requires attaching a file very similar to attaching a file in Yahoo mail. Rather than manipulating the attach button, navigating to the file and attaching it, I thought I would use a short cut by writing directly into the text field the path to the file. However, using this approach returns an UnknownObjectException.To illustrate, I'm using the text field methodie.text_field(:name, "typeinme").set("some text")<input type = "text" name = "typeinme" >However, in my html reads like this:<input type = "file" name = "typeinme" >Does anybody have any ideas how to solve this problem?
