WatiN support for HTML5 tags

watin

Solution

var field = Browser.TextField("email");

Tries to get the TextField with id email and thus fails for the TextFieldExtended type.

var field = Browser.ElementOfType<TextFieldExtended>("email");

Gets the TextFieldExtended with id email.

Problem

I have the following HTML: ``` <input type="email" id="email"> ``` I want to type text into it from WatiN : ``` var field = Browser.TextField("email"); Assert.IsTrue(field.Exists); ``` But the field can't be found. This is because WatiN doesn't support HTML5 tags yet. I found a solution to this by creating an extended TextField-class: ``` [ElementTag("input", InputType = "text", Index = 0)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "password", Index = 1)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "textarea", Index = 2)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "hidden", Index = 3)] [ElementTag("textarea", Index = 4)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "email", Index = 5)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "url", Index = 6)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "number", Index = 7)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "range", Index = 8)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "search", Index = 9)] [ElementTag("input", InputType = "color", Index = 10)] public class TextFieldExtended : TextField { public TextFieldExtended(DomContainer domContainer, INativeElement element) : base(domContainer, element) { } public TextFieldExtended(DomContainer domContainer, ElementFinder finder) : base(domContainer, finder) { } public static void Register() { Type typeToRegister = typeof (TextFieldExtended); ElementFactory.RegisterElementType(typeToRegister); } } ``` After registering the type and running the code it still doesn't work. Can anyone see why or does anyone have another workaround for this problem?
