can you post the html of the text area and of the button - there may be some
javascript going on.
I also dont understand that if its a required field that its also hidden?

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.

presumably you tried
@ie.text_field(:name, 'J_LDESC').value='yes'
and that didnt work?

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
