Manipulate IE via Ruby?

ruby-talk
1

I want to tinker with the concept of Windows Automation as described in chapter
16 of the PickAxe book.

Does anyone know where I can find the list of objects that can be manipulated
in IE via Ruby? Page 167 shows me how to launch IE, make it visible, and
navigate the “home” page. But I assume that so much more is possible. Can
anyone point me in the right direction?

If I could get to the point of navigating and filling in forms that would be
great!

Thanks very much in advance,

Christopher

I would think that msdn.microsoft.com would have the IE object model.

Also, check out my incomplete lib that automates some of the busywork:
