[Wtr-general] Is there a way to input data into a "Readonly" text field in watir?

[chaya shetty]

Hi,
  It was not the problem of 'Watir'. The database had timeinstantid's only from 2002 to 2006. So these dates were getting saved whereas all other dates 
  were not saved.
   
  Thanks

  I'm really at a loss... so, you are pushing data into the field, and it *IS* going in ... then you submit the data ... then it doesn't show up ...

It sounds to me like some piece of validation in your save logic is throwing the data away ... which has nothing to do with WATiR ... that's a problem with the app.

  Hi,
  I was able to input data into the readonly field using
ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = random_date
  "random_date" is a method  which I have used to input random date into the field. But when I submit the data and try to view it in the "View" screen, this date field is blank.
   
   However if  I give  input data as 
  ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = "12/11/2005" ( i.e. directly giving a string instead of taking it from "random_date" method) and then submit , this date will be saved and can be viewed in  the "View" screen.
   
  I also tried 
  date = random_date
  ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = date.to_s
  But still this date was not saved in the "View screen". 
   
  Is it because I am getting the input dates from a method that it is not being saved?    
  How do I handle this?

you should be able to use the value= method

using the textfields.html from the watir_bonus\unittests\html dir

ie.text_field(:name , 'readOnly').value='test'

seems to work

Hi,
I want to write a test case in which I am required to test a date field. This date field is a "readonly text field".

The input to this readonly text field is by means of a calendar( the user is supposed to select a date from the calendar which will be displayed in the text field).

I want to input data into the "Readonly text field" without selecting the date from the calendar. Is this possible in watir?
Is there a way to input data into the "Readonly text field" in watir?
