Ok Bret, I got it -- the installer isn't working (as you said), I followed your instrux and copied the files manually.

Now I see your change and it works like a champ!!!

Thanks for all the help and insight!!!!

I think I'm catching on -- the c:\Program Files\Watir directory holds the docs, help, examples and test scripts and the watir source goes to the Ruby directories (seems obvious now, took a while for THAT light to go on ;-)

I'm still not sure I'm getting the correct tarball -- on ruby forge I went to http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=wtr and downloaded the root tarball. I read the Installer_readme.txt and followed those instructions to run the Installer.exe and follow the wizard.

I found a watir folder and watir.rb (dated 8/20/2005 - more evidence I'm not getting the correct file) under C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8 (I don't see any water files in c:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8) -- in the watir.rb file this is what I found for the SelectList class (no INPUT_TYPE -- I see where it would go and follow how you were putting it there I think, it just looks like I have the wrong/old? file). Can you instruct me as to where I should be going to get the latest development tarball.

class SelectList < Element
        # returns an initialized instance of a SelectList object
        #   * ieController - an instance of an IEController
        #   * how          - symbol - how we access the select box
        #   * what         - what we use to access the select box, name, id etc
        def initialize( ieController, how , what )
            @ieController = ieController
            @how = how
            @what = what
            @o = @ieController.getObject(@how, @what, ["select-one", "select-multiple"])
            super( @o )
        end

        attr :o

Basically, I tried to install from the tarball but I'm not sure that I'm doing it quite right.

I extracted it into the C: directory -- but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to actually do it into my existing watir directory (C:\Program Files\watir), and looking at the code you sent to try, I did a search of the files extracted from the tarball and in my existing ruby and watir directories but found no reference to INPUT_TYPES (I was trying to understand what the code was doing, my best guess is that I was adding the value "select" to a constant array) -- should I have found it? If I don't install the tarball into my existing watir directory, do I need to do anything special to make sure ruby uses the correct directory when executing a script?

There is a command line installer in there (install.rb) but i think it is broken. The Watir library (the important part) is actually installed in your ruby directory, by default C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8. You can hand-copy watir.rb and the files in the watir subdirectory (i.e. watir\watir\*.*) from the tarball in the mean time.

Your guess about the code is correct. (I know it sounds odd that you can add a value to a constant array, but in Ruby you can.) You should have been able to find it in watir.rb. Here is the original code in the tarball that you need:

    class SelectList < InputElement
        INPUT_TYPES = ["select-one", "select-multiple"]
        ...
