where was the send method placed in?

[bugs apple]

In the locator.rb for watir api, there is call that execute the element.send(@how) method like below,

but I fail to find the send method in element.rb,

 

anybody can tell where it is and which rb files?

 

 def locate
      object_index = 1
      @elements.each do |object|
        element = Element.new(object)
        if @types.include?(element.type)
          if @how == :index
            attribute = object_index
          else
            begin
             puts @how
              attribute = element.send(@how)
            rescue NoMethodError
              raise MissingWayOfFindingObjectException,
                "#{@how} is an unknown way of finding an <INPUT> element (#{@what})"
            end
          end
          if @what.matches(attribute)
            if @value
              if element.value == @value
                return object
              end
            else
              return object
            end
          end
          object_index += 1
        end
      end
      return nil
    end

"send" is a method on the Object class.

I think he is talking about Ruby's Object class.
