Performing a postback using Ruby

[Will Jenkins]

Hi,
I am trying to automate a page that is written in .Net and uses
webparts. I am unable to work out how to get Ruby/Watir to 'click' on
the webpart control menu (edit/close/delete) so am assuming i can get
round this by mimicking the actual postback that the menu would send if
i could use it. But how would i do this? Essentially it looks like i
need the basic syntax for how to send a change of '__EVENTARGUEMENT' to
the server.
Thanks,
Will

Hi --

you can use AutoIt

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

for Windows Automation ....
Not Ruby, but nice ... and you can can script it from Ruby.

Best regards,

I'd rather keep it all within Ruby if possible. It's not the IE window
i'm trying to manipulate, it's a webpart within the web page i'm
automating.
Thanks,
