I am a new user to ruby/watir as well...maybe we can get through this together
:)
Basically, I did the same thing...launch irb and type commands to see what
happens. It was my experience that if it worked in irb, it worked in the
script. However, I am using ie6. I haven't tried ruby/watir with ie7 yet...
In irb, try using the ie.show_all_objects. This generates a table of all the
objects on the current page. This was helpful for me to build the list of
objects for my script.
Maybe using a later version of watir is required? I am using 1.5.1.1158.
ruby -e 'require "watir"; puts Watir::IE::VERSION'
1.5.1.1158
ruby --version
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i386-mswin32]
