Since the meta tags are inside the HTML document itself, you can get to
them ... you just have to use ruby stuff to do it... ( a lot of people go
thinking that watir is something self-contained ... it's *JUST* a ruby
library that hooks to IE, not downplaying it, but ... you have an entire
programming language available to you ) and getting this information is
cake.
So, ... try the following:
--BEGIN--
length = ie.document.getElementsByTagName( "meta" ).length
metas = {}
http_equivs = {}
length.times do |i|
body = ie.document.getElementsByTagName( "meta" ).item(i).outerHTML
puts body
# I leave it to you to come up with good regular expressions for parsing
things out.
# these work but are overly greedy.
matches = body.scan( /name="(.+)"/ )
name = matches[1] || ""
matches = body.scan( /content="(.+)"/ )
content = matches[1] || ""
matches = body.scan( /http-equiv="{0,1}(.+)"{0,1}/ )
http_equiv = matches[1] || ""
http_equivs[http_equiv] = content if http_equiv != ""
metas[name] = content if name != ""
end
--END--
Hope that helps.
