[Wtr-general] $ie.button replacing with $ie.b?

[Charley Baker]

I'm not quite sure why you'd want to do that, maybe you could explain it.
Here are a couple of random possibilities:

1. use the string and eval it, makes the code less readable but there are
some good uses for this:
b = "button"
eval("puts $ie.#{b}(:index, 1)")

2.wrap the code in a method, cleaner access and sets you up for methods on
your pages which you can roll into classes for your pages:

def my_form_button; $ie.button(:index, 1);end

puts my_form_button
my_form_button.click

It all depends on what the context of the question is and where you might
want to take it.
