[Wtr-general] Setting Textbox throws unknown

[Charley Baker]

  Actually I can tell you why this is happening, it's related to the issue I
was looking at yesterday, ie.element(:id, 'foo') actually searches by Name:
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-77

  Both are failing in the locate_input_element method. In the case of the
Jira issue mentioned above
getElementById() isn't working as it should be. In the case of regular
expressions, it's simply sending the regular expression into getElementById
or getElementsByName, straight ole_methods which causes problems for ie. We
don't currently seem to have any regex searches on the input elements I've
been looking at which is why they don't show up, regexs do work for non
input elements which uses a different locator. Once we figure out how to
handle this I'll add more unit tests.

  This is also related to the other issue you mentioned:
WIN32OLERuntimeError: Unknown property or method `scrollIntoView'
    HRESULT error code:0x80010004
      The caller is dispatching an asynchronous call and cannot make an
outgoing
 call on behalf of this call.

Somehow after the call gets screwed up there seems to be a hung connection
to ie or something so that further calls to connect to other elements can
cause this error. I've gotten it as well.

 As a temporary hack you can open watir.rb, go to the locate_input_element
method, delete the whole begin/rescue/end block at the beginning and replace
it with
elements = ole_inner_elements
