I just answered my question using the supplied 1.5 answers and my knowledge of
Watir 1.4.1 and some Ruby/OLE hacking skills I've acquired since using Watir.
So I tried using Watir 1.5, and for what I needed that worked, but Watir 1.5
crashed on my previous script, so it wasn't really a viable solution in the
long run. I didn't expect it not to crash though since it's still in
development. So I decided to see if I could do some patch work. I diffed the
watir.rb file visually for 1.5 with the one for 1.4.1 and found that 1.5 simply
wraps more native OLE object properties for the element(s) in question (mine
was Image or <img>). Then I noticed that in 1.4.1 sometimes element
attributes were gotten using @o.invoke("propertyName"), but there wasn't one
for className or class_name. So I pulled out irb, typed in some lines to get
my browser and Watir 1.4 going (I had uninstalled Watir 1.5 at this point) and
played with the following idea:
className or class_name must by an attribute that I can get via
getOLEObject.invoke. Here's what I came up with:
ie.images.each {
|img| tempImage = img
x = tempImage.getOLEObject
if x.invoke("className") == "btn_viewResults"
# Click on the image associated with the class name "btn_viewResults"
tempImage.click
end # End: if x.invoke("className") == "btn_viewResults"
}
Thanks for all of your help. I'm glad I can hack it!
