I forgot to mention in my previous email that on irb, this solution is working as displayed below. But in IE, it does not since the text field is a required field and expecting a value at the time of clicking the submit button. I need some way to overlook that required flag of the field.

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?
