[Wtr-general] Click on a pixel location

[Paul Rogers]

if i remember, there is a method in IE called something like

element_at( x, y)

it might be possible to use that to do what you need. But as others have said, this is a very fragile way of doing automation

There are many ways to access controls, does the textbox have any
attributes? id, name, etc? If it does then you can use the standard set
method:
ie.text_field(:name, "username").set("admin")

Are you getting errors accessing it? If so what errors? If the text field
doesn't have any identifiable attributes, you can also use index:
ie.text_field(:index, 3).set("admin")

There may be a way to pixel click, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's
subject to breaking pretty quickly. The above options should work. If not,
post some of the html code and more information.
