Clicking a menu item

[FM]

Hi,

I am trying to click a menu item on the webpage using it's id but it
does not seem to work. Any suggestion? The menu item is contained by
<span> element.

Thank you.

[Tiffany Fodor]

Hi!

Have you tried clicking on the span itself?

ie.span(:text, 'SpanText').click

help me

How can I access to the following text_field !
I could not get to it by using
"ie.text_field(:name,'miseCode').set('1234')"
Why!
can't Watir access to a text_field without 'type=' like this?

<TBODY><TR>

<TD>title</TD>

<TD><INPUT maxLength=4 size=6 value=201 name=miseCode> <INPUT maxLength=7
size=10 value=167 name=kyakCode> <INPUT type=hidden value=201 name=miseC>
<INPUT type=hidden value=167 name=kyakC> </TD></TR></TBODY>

Weird, I can make it with your code.

Hi Tiffany, 

I have tried the Span with it's id but that did not work. 

[Natasha Ranney]

Not sure. But, did you try the following:

$ie.span(:id,"Id_Of_Span").link(:index,1).click

[Fatema Karim]

It worked after i have tried the following:

$ie.frame(:id, "frameID").image(:id, /ImageID/).fire_event('onMouseover')

but now when it clicks on the menu it opens up a tiny window inside span where I need to click a button but that does not seem to work properly :(

Is your code in a FRAME or IFRAME? if so, please try "ie.frame(xxxx,xxxx).text_field(:name,'miseCode').set('1234')"

Hi,

Your input type is hidden.
Instead using text_field, use hidden

ie.hidden(xxx,"xxx").set("yyy")

I hope this helps

Fatema,

This tells us not enough to help you. Can you be more specific?

Hi Željko, 

This worked when I have tried the following:

$ie.frame(:id, "frameID").table(:id, 'tableID').link(:id, /linkID/).click 

Thanks.
