</div>

Below is the code:

$ie.file\_field(:id,’\_20\_file’).click\_no\_wait

$ie.file(:id,’\_20\_file’).click

$ie.button(:id,’\_20\_file’).click

Not working above all script. Please any pointer ?

I assume you’re talking about watir. I don’t think you need to click,  
but maybe focus. you can don’t need to click. You can do  
$ie.file\_field(:id,‘\_20\_file’).set(‘C:\<Path\_to\_file\>’)

thanks,
