Subject: Re: using ruby to validate web pages

Siep,

Wow!  Had to add 'goto validator' to the block but otherwise worked a 
treat... Thanks very much!  :)


# the Watir gem
require 'rubygems'

# the Watir controller
require 'watir'

# set variables
validator = "http://validator.w3.org/"
urls =[]
urls << "http://www.catnic.com/"
urls << "http://pingmag.jp/2008/01/17/chimpom/"
urls << "http://www.google.com/"

# open the IE browser
ie = Watir::IE.new
puts "Beginning validation"

urls.each do|url|
  puts "Checking " + url
  ie.goto validator # maybe this should be in the block.
  ie.text_field(:id, "uri").set(url)
  ie.button(:value, "Check").click
  if ie.text.include? "This Page Is Valid"
    puts url + " validates!"
  else
    puts url + " does not validate!" #!! This line needs a 'puts' !!
  end
end
ie.close #or something like it
puts "End of validation"



I'm very new to Ruby (programming in general, actually) but I wonder if 
there is a way to incorporate this into a webpage?  This might not seem 
much but is going to make my job as a tester a little easier!
