[Wtr-general] custom attributes

Tue Jan 30 05:54:27 EST 2007

I thought I should elaborate the two ways, you can access an element using

 the custom attribute directly like this: puts ff.text_field(:custom,
"custom") and

Using xpath in Firefox.

And to access a custom attribute value is same as it is in Watir.

puts ff.text_field(:id, "id").attribute_value("custom")

For the above two puts output will be

Prema

custom

PS: missed the last output line in the previous mail.

Prema
