Hi I am having a doubt regarding the basic ruby. I want to access the row 7 in the table 9 of a web page. If I am trying to access table only I am not facing any problem(i.e) $ie.table(:id =\>"", :index =\>9).flash(20) But if I am trying to access a row inside a table, it gives me error. The command I used is as follows: $ie.table(:id =\>"", :index =\>9).row(:value =\> “”,:index =\> 7).flash(20) The error I get is as follows: Loaded suite temporary Started Web page opened successfully .E Finished in 15.852 seconds. 1. Error: test\_b(TestCase): NoMethodError: private method `row' called for # temporary.rb:88:in`test\_b’ 2 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors Can anyone suggest how to overcome this problem ? Thanks in advance. ---

I’ve never used Watir, but the rdocs for Watir::Table seem to suggest that what you need to do is something like this, if $ie.table(id=\>“”, :index=\>9) is getting the table you want: $ie.table(:id =\>“”, :index =\>9)[7].flash(20)
