How do I get the id or name of an element in watir?
watir
Solution
browser.span(:text => "Some Text").id
=> "i1"
browser.span(:text => "Some Text").name
=> "n1"
Tested on Windows, Ruby 1.8.6, Watir 1.6.5, Internet Explorer driver.
Problem
Watir can find a text on a page: ``` <span id="i1" name="n1>Some Text</span> e.text.include?("Some Text") ``` But how can I get the name or id of the span, when I only know "Some Text" ``` e.text.findInPage("Some Text").parentElement.id (should be "i1") e.text.findInPage("Some Text").parentElement.name (should be "n1"); ``` Something like this exists in watir?
