Control of Browser

[Peter Meier]

Hi,

is there a possibility to control a browser like Firefox or IE with ruby?

I' thinking about a script to login in a system and do some operations
there - pushing buttons, ....


Thanks
Peter

On Windows, there's WATIR to drive IE. I'm not sure about Firefox on
Windows or any browsers on non-Windows systems.

Have a look at Selenium on Rails: http://www.openqa.org/selenium-on-rails/

WATIR also drives Safari on Mac OS X
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/safariwatir/). Information on Watir for
Firefox can be found here:
