Question

Is there any way to get all the links given an attribute?

Down the tree, I get a lot of these tags:

<div class="name">
<a hef="http://www.example.com/link">This is a name</a>
</div>

Is there a way to do something like this: b.links(:class, "name") and it’ll output all the hyperlinks and titles from all div name classes?

Answer 1

Explicitly how you’ve described the browser objects regarding attributes, this is how you’d have to do that. Otherwise, @SporkInventor’s answer is spot on for link attributes.

@myLinks = Array.new
@browser.divs(:class => "name").each do |d|  
   d.links.each {|link| @myLinks << link }
end

1. Create a new array to collect our links.

2. For every div in the browser with class that equals “name”, grab all the links and throw them into the array.

   @myLinks.each {|link| puts link.href } #etc, etc
