[Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir

[Alan Ark]

Well using ie.show_active has given me very interesting results.

What I had expected to be my text_field to be active was something totally different.

=> "HTML Document     name=          id=ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor_designEditor
src=about:blank     innerText=        \n"
irb(main):305:0>


Clicking on the various dropdown that let me choose the attributes of the font displays what I expected - a series of select-one's
Clicking on any of the font styling/formatting buttons (like Bold, Strikethru, centered, left-justified) also returns the HTML document type.

I'm going to play around with this a little more.  It is very interesting though.

these things tend to intercept all the keystrokes too, so perhaps its harder than I orignally thought

If you click in it and then from irb do
ie.show_active

you should see some of the details about it.

If I get some time later today, I'll give it a go
