Since my text area is a required field and .value sets the value in the background, when submitting the form, I get a message to fill in the details for the required field.
I need to fill in the value on UI only. .value sets it in the background. I need a method like .set which sets the value in UI. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Rogers Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 7:41 PM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] how to populate hidden text area? can you elaborate on that? ----- Original Message ----- From: Suman Goel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] how to populate hidden text area?

This did not work for me as my webpage has J__LDESC(the textarea in question) as the required field and so, on clicking submit button, I get the error message to fill in the field. Any other suggestions? Suman try using the value method: @ie.text_field(:name, ..).value='some text' the set method fires all appropriate evens, and generally obeys what the web page is doing ( ie not letting you enter something that is hidden) but value= will get round that Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: Suman Goel To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org <http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 10:17 PM Subject: [Wtr-general] how to populate hidden text area?
