Zeljko,
Possibly this could help, I believe the `getObject( how, what, types, value=nil
)` method could provide some more infromation to you with regards to this
matter:
=begin method=
# This is the main method for finding objects on a web page.
#
# This method is used internally by Watir and should not be used
externally. It cannot be marked as private because of the way mixins and
inheritance work in watir
#
# * how - symbol - the way we look for the object. Supported values
are
# - :name
# - :id
# - :index
# - :value etc
# * what - string that we are looking for, ex. the name, or id tag
attribute or index of the object we are looking for.
# * types - what object types we will look at. Only used when index
is specified as the how.
# * value - used for objects that have one name, but many values. ex.
radio lists and checkboxes
def getObject(how, what, types, value=nil)
container = getContainerContents # XXX actually this returns a
collection object (not a container)
how = :value if how == :caption
log "getting object - how is #{how} what is #{what} types =
#{types} value = #{value}"
o = nil
if how == :index
index = what.to_i
log" getting object #{types.to_s} at index( #{index}"
objectIndex = 1
container.each do | thisObject |
begin
this_type = thisObject.invoke("type")
rescue
this_type = nil
end
if types.include?(this_type)
if objectIndex == index
o = thisObject
break
end
objectIndex += 1
end
end
return o
else
container.each do |object|
next unless o == nil
begin
case how
when :id
attribute = object.invoke("id")
when :name
attribute = object.invoke("name")
when :value
attribute = object.value
when :alt
attribute = object.alt
when :src
attribute = object.src
when :beforeText
attribute = object.getAdjacentText("afterEnd").strip
when :afterText
attribute =
object.getAdjacentText("beforeBegin").strip
else
next
end
if what.matches(attribute) &&
types.include?(object.invoke("type"))
if value
log "checking value supplied #{value} (
#{value.class}) actual #{object.value} ( #{object.value.class})"
if object.value.to_s == value.to_s
o = object
end
else # no value
o = object
end
end
rescue => e
log 'IE#getObject error ' + e.to_s
end
end
end
return o
end
=end method=
It is unclear to me why for this: "({:name => 'foo', :index => 2})" as your
parameters list that you placed these parameters inside a block " { } ".
Maybe more will chime in to get your question answered :)
