Elements

Elements exist on Pages

An example of the search text field on the Google home page in WATIR syntax:

module Google
  class HomePage < Taza::Page
    element(:search_field) { browser.text_field(:name, 'q') }
  end
end

This element can then be accessed like:

Google.new do |google|
  google.home_page.search_field.set 'ruby'
  #or
  google.home_page do |hp|
    hp.search_field.set 'ruby'
  end
end

Since elements take blocks they can be more powerful than simply returning a value:

module Google
  class SearchResultsPage < Taza::Page
    element(:page_link) {|page_number| browser.link(:text,page_number.to_s) }
  end
end

This element can then be accessed like:

Google.new do |google|
  google.search_results_page.page_link(3).click
  #or
  google.search_results_page do |srp|
    srp.page_link(3).click
  end
end

Elements can also be divided into Page Modules for better readability.
