[Wtr-general] custom attributes

[Prema Arya]

Hi Paul,

You can use xpath to address the elements having custom attributes.

For example, to access the following input tag

<input type="text" name="aa" mytag="paul">

using xpath the code would look like this:

inText = ie.text_field(:xpath , "//input[@mytag='paul']/")
puts inText

Regards,
Prema
