As a general rule, setting the value of a field via value= often works when set fails.

I found some of the classes and methods for working with Hiddenfields, but all this programming stuff is a bit too terse for me.(Dammit Jim, I'm a tester not a programmer! ;))
I tried the following:> ie.frame("ContextTree").hiddens.length=> Returns a value of 8. (matches the number identified via "show_all_objects")
> ie.frame("ContextTree").text_fields.length=> Returned a value of 2. (This is interesting, because only one inputfield is visible.)
When I tried to input text into the first text_field, it appeared asexpected. When I tried to input text into the second input field, Igot the following:
> ie.frame("ContextTree").text_field(:index, 2).set("wasup?")=> WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, notenabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.[snip]
So, how do I send info to this input field? Do I use something likethe following?> ie.frame("ContextTree").hidden(:id, "_ContextList1:Tree").set("wasup?")
I think I'm mixing apples and oranges here. The second text inputfield doesn't have a "hidden" attribute, yet it is "invisible".
This tree control will be the end of me yet. I think I've found a wayto bypass it using the URL. If that works, I'm going to give up ontrying to manipulate the UI directly with Watir. This is one timewhere the mouse is mightier than the keyboard. Sigh.
Cheers. Paul.
BTW, does anyone know a tool that will allow me to see what info IEpasses from one page to another? SpySmith is nice for viewing staticinformation on a page, but not for showing me what's being passed fromone page to another. TIA.
