I have read numerous posts about problems with Watir and accessing data that is
computed elsewhere (i.e. in a separate .js file) but unfortunately none of the
posts have pointed me in the right direction. I am testing a simple html page
that has no frames but does call javascript functions in an external file. When
the user has typed text into the text field then a window appears with text in
it. I would like to access this text to verify it in my Watir test, but all of
the following return '0' for me:
@@ie.select_list(:id,"sel").getAllContents.length
@@ie.ie.Document.getElementById("sel").options.length
@@ie.selectBox(:index,1).getAllContents.length
@@ie.div(:id,"sid").select_list(:id,"sel").getAllContents.length
@@ie.select_list(:index,1).getAllContents.length
even though @@ie.show_all_objects seems to indicate there is a select list
(select-multiple)? Does anyone have any suggestions for obtaining this data?
In advance, thanks very much for any feedback provided!
After executing the following:
@@ie.text_field(:id, "fid").fire_event("onkeyup")
@@ie.text_field(:id, "fid").set("country")
@@ie.button(:value, "Show Synonyms").fire_event("onclick")
@@ie.button(:value, "Show Synonyms").click
here is the output of @@ie.show_all_objects:
-----------Objects in page -------------
