How to Get Text from Status Bar

Posted in Watir at 4:38 pm by Željko Filipin

There was an interesting question recently at Watir General forum. How to get text from Internet Explorer status bar using Watir? I did not know that it was possible. Not only it is possible, but it is so easy.

ie.status => "Done"

I just had to put it at How To page of Watir Wiki.

Extend Watir

Posted in Watir at 11:42 am by Željko Filipin

I had to click a h4 headline.

<h4 id="addproject">Create a new project</h4>

This did not work.

ie.h4(:id, "addproject").click

I posted a question to wtr-general mailing list and Bret Pettichord suggested to extend Watir with this, so it would support h4 headlines.

module Watir class H4 < NonControlElement TAG = 'H4' end module Container def h4(how, what) return H4.new(self, how, what) end end end

Now this works.

ie.h4(:id, "addproject").click

<h4 id="addproject">Create a new project</h4>

This did not work.

ie.h4(:id, "addproject").click

I posted a question to wtr-general mailing list and Angrez Singh was kind enough to help.

This will click h4 headline.

ie.element_by_xpath("//h4[@id='addproject']").click
