[Wtr-general] general questions when trying Watir

[salamond]

Hi, zeljko.
Thanks for the reply.

is that what you mean about open a new window?
ie.link(:href, " http://www.google.com ").click
ie2=Watir::IE.attach(url, "http://www.google.com")
then I can use ie2 to drive the new page?

But I find several problems when trying this.
1 ie.link(:href, " http://www.google.com ").click
A new popup window is blocked.
But when I click the link manually, it did open a new window for me.

2 ie2=Watir::IE.attach(:url, "http://www.google.com")
seems it did attach to the window just opened.
But ie2.show_all_objects shows different with IE/view/source.
I can see a table with IE/view/source,
but ie2.show_all_objects didn't show any table.

3 Another question will be igoogle. I add several protelet on my page.
I can't find those links in show_all_objects, but I can use
ie.link(:text, "How to of the Day").click to click it.

Is Watir reading the html/view/source to generate the show_all_objects?


thanks
Jarodzz
