Watir and text field inside iframe

Question

I\'m trying to setup new text into a text field using Watir. The text field is placed inside iframe.

Answer 1

@browser.text_field(:id => "IDUserId").set "TEXT"
@browser.text_field(:name => "IDUserId").set "TEXT"
@browser.text_field(:class => "sws_text_input").set "TEXT"

Those will all work for a this text field as long as it is not contained in a frame, at which point you will need to identify it.

You only want to use Xpath as a last result, as it is fragile and complicated. I'm not even sure if CSS works as I've never tried it.
