Hi there, I have encountered an interesting roadblock that I need somehelp with.
In the Dot-Net application that I am testing, there is a Context Treein the
Left frame that when you click on something, it changes thecontext/display in
the MainWindow frame. (i.e. similar to the"Interacting with a JavaScripttree
view" example in the FAQ.)
Unfortunately, the Javascript tree that our app uses is not quite assimple as
the Joust example.
When I use "ie.frame("ContextTree").image(:index, 3).flash", the[-]/[+] icon
flashes. I can "click" this to expand/collapse thecurrently selected item.
(that's good)
However, this command/control doesn't actually *select* the item. (that's bad)
I scanned through the HTML (and used SpySmith) to discover that thetree item
names are stored within "div" tags. Okay. So then Idiscovered that I can
highlight any item in the tree that I want usingsomething like:
"ie.frame("ContextTree").div(:id, "ContextList1Tree_1_2").flash"
(where the "_1_2" is kind of like an array of the items listed in thetree.)
(that's good)
When I try to "click" this item, nothing happens. (that's bad)
Back to scanning the HTML. I used "show_all_objects" to give me alist of the
frame elements. Then I noticed the *hidden* input fields.
I think that I need to pass values to one of these hidden inputfields, but I
haven't been successful using ".text_field(..).set(..)"
When I try this, I keep getting an error similar to the
following:"Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate object.."
I've searched through the mail archives for other postings on Hiddenfields, but
I haven't found any solutions posted that would apply tothe page/frame that I
am trying to interact with. There are *no*visible fields to input on this
Context Tree. It is simply lookingfor an onkeydown / onkeyup / onclick event
of some sort.
Has anyone had any success trying to pass values to hidden inputfields that are
looking for these kinds of values?
I'll keep exploring, but I thought I would post my question in themeantime to
see if anyone here has any advice that might help.
Cheers. Paul.
