[Wtr-general] accessing the asp.net TabStrip from Watir

[Vincent Predoehl]

My previous post was wrong about the nested tables.  IE implements  
the .NET TabStrip as an IE control so I could never find my tabstrip  
by looking for a table, which is what FireFox was telling me it was.

So how can I access the .NET tabstrip in IE from Watir?  Here's a  
snippet from my page source:

			<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX="TSNS" /><?IMPORT NAMESPACE="TSNS"  
IMPLEMENTATION="/webctrl_client/1_0/tabstrip.htc" />
<TSNS:TabStrip id="mysubtabs" name="mysubtabs" selectedIndex="0"  
tabDefaultStyle="text-align:center;color:#ffffff;width: 
120;background:#333367;" tabHoverStyle="text- 
align:center;color:#000000;width:120;background:#D3D3D3;"  
tabSelectedStyle="text-align:center;font- 
weight:bold;color:#000000;width:120;background:#D3D3D3;"  
onSelectedIndexChange="JScript:document.myform.__mysubtabs_State__.value 
=event.index;if (getAttribute('_submitting') != 'true'){setAttribute 
('_submitting','true');try{__doPostBack('mysubtabs','');}catch(e) 
{setAttribute('_submitting','false');}}" onwcready="JScript:try 
{document.myform.__mysubtabs_State__.value=selectedIndex}catch(e){}"  
style="font-size:9pt;height:25px;">

	<TSNS:Tab>Agricultural</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>Livestock</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>Crude</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>FX</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>Interest Rates</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>NGL's</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>Natural Gas</TSNS:Tab>
	<TSNS:Tab>Refined</TSNS:Tab>

</TSNS:TabStrip>
