2 date fields being reset

[cw]

Hi Zhimin,

When you run the attached file, you'll see that I set 2 date values.
When I run the testcase, the dates are correctly inputed but then the
dates get set to "0".

Any ideas,

C.

text_field(:id, "HotSeason_date_sd").set("04/11/10") # This is
the start date
text_field(:id, "HotSeason_date_ed").set("09/01/10") # This is
the end date

I think it is application-related issue, maybe some javascripts are
fired to clear these text fields. If you test the application
manually, do you get the same?

If you let me know the URL and full test scripts, I can have a look?

Hi C,

The reason for setting to 0 is the menu (select tag) has onchange
event, it sets value.

A workaround as below

text_field(:id, "HotSeason_date_sd").value = "04/11/10"
text_field(:id, "HotSeason_date_sd").fire_event("onchange")
text_field(:id, "HotSeason_date_ed").value = "09/01/10"
text_field(:id, "HotSeason_date_ed").fire_event("onchange")

Hi Zhimin,

Thx for the workaround, but it didn't work. The dates still reset to
"0". It works correctly on manual input. Pls take a look at URL:
http://www.weatherbill.com/quote?type=HotSeason


Thx,

C.

I just ran the test scripts (see below) in iTest v1.7 against Firefox
and IE, both fine
