[Wtr-general] Table has no unique attributes

[Cain, Mark]

You could also just use table index.  If you do a view source on the
page, then do a <ctrl>f.  Beginning at the top of the page, put '<table'
(without quotes) into the search field and begin counting by clicking
the next button.  When you get to desired table that 'count' number is
your table index (it is 1 based).  I have found this to much more
reliable then xpath-which I have never been able to get to work
correctly.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I think you can select the element using class attribute. Else you can
use xpath for selecting the element using any attribute that uniquely
identifies that element on the page. This all is available in watir
releases greater than 1.4.1.

I am quite new to watir and I am currently trying to automate some
tests, however I am having difficulties clicking on a link within a cell
in a table.  I have done this before however this table has no name or
id, Infact the only thing I have to identify the table is a class. I am
assuming that I am not the first person to encounter this issue and I'm
hoping that someone knows how to get around this problem.

 

Anyone got any ideas??
