[Wtr-general] Cannot click on HTML button

[Dhrubojyoti Biswas]

Hi,

Problem 1:
Watir doesn't seem to recognize buttons that are encapsulated inside label
tags. As an example consider the following tag

<label for="taskCombo">
	<button type="submit" style="height:22;" alt="Go" title="Go">Go</button>
</label>


WATIR is not able to recognize and click on this button.

ie.buttons.length returns nothing for a page which contains such controls.

ie.button(:name, 'Go').click throws an 'assert_exists'
(Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)

Some help on how to click such controls would be really nice.

Problem 2:
If there are controls containing the same name on a page WATIR cannot
distinguish between them. I had thought of caching up such controls in an
Array (Collection) and then iterate over them. But most of the Watir classes
including Watir::SelectList, Watir::Button do not expose methods through
which the names of these controls can be retrieved.

Can such methods be supported?
