Subject: Help with Ruby return types and documentation

Hi guys,

I'm new to Ruby and I really like it..or trying to like it.

It's so versatile and powerful and I'd like to take advantage of that
but there are things that are just pissing me off.

Probably due to my inexperience with it and this is the reason I'm
writing this e-mail.

I'm trying to write a web spider using Anemone and analyze the HTML with
Nokogiri to extract get,post and cookie parameters.

But I'm stumped with Nokogiri's API.

I can't figure anything out, I don't know what are the available methods
or attributes of a doc object, can't figure out how to get html "type",
"name" and "value" fields.

Usually Eclipse is good with presenting documentation when needed but
the Ruby plug-in or RDoc don't really help.

I'm all for dynamic typing but this is getting out of hand.
Please tell me that I'm missing something...and what it is that I'm
missing of course.

In addition, any code examples that will help me out will be very
appreciated.

Cheers,
Tasos.
