Watir - finding element in form
in [Ruby]
|
From: Phil Mcdonnell on 26 May 2010 02:24 I'm trying to use Watir to log into a page. I can't seem to find the login button in order to click on it. From the Watir examples I've read it seems I need the following code: browser = Watir::Safari.new browser.goto @login_page browser.text_field(:name, 'UserID').set(ARGV[0]) browser.text_field(:name, 'Password').set(ARGV[1]) browser.button(:alt, 'Login').click However, the final line doesn't do anything. Note, the text_field lines do correctly set the username and password. Any idea how to fix this? Here's the relavent html: <FORM NAME="frmLogon" ACTION="/myca/logon/us/action?request_type=LogLogonHandler&location=us_logon1" METHOD="POST" onkeypress="formSub(event)"> ... lots of stuff ... <input type='image' src ="/myca/logon/us/shared/images/btn_login.gif" alt="Login" style="margin-top:5;margin-left:20;margin-bottom:22" border = "0" tabIndex='5' onClick="javascript:loginNow();return false;"> ... lots of stuff ... </FORM> Also, the full site is here: https://online.americanexpress.com/myca/logon/us/action?request_type=LogonHandler&Face=en_US&DestPage=https://www99.americanexpress.com/myca/acctsumm/us/action%3Frequest_type%3Dauthreg_acctAccountSummary%26us_nu%3Dlogincontrol&Info=CUExpired -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
From: Dimitri Df on 26 May 2010 10:56 You could try to use :index to find the form you want and submit it that way. example: browser.form(:index, 1).submit Or by using :name of the form example: browser.form(:name, 'frmLogon').submit Phil Mcdonnell wrote: > I'm trying to use Watir to log into a page.

Usually an <input type = "button"> HTML tag." Which the form snippet above clearly is not. So I'm not sure why you expect this to work. :-) Either you have to find the appropriate method, or select that input element some other way.
