This solves the problem. <br /> <br />I wrote it more as a practice to get familiar with FireWatir, so it's not very pretty or anything and it's a bit slow. If you have doubts on how to use or suggestions on how to improve it please feel free to contact me. <br /> <br />By the way, it assumes Gmail is in German. Replace that string with the one that comes up for your language. <br /> <br /><code> <br />def empty_label(label) <br /> # you need a Firefox instance already running with JSSh installed and listening <br /> ff = Firefox.new <br /> # Goes to Gmail in HTML <br /> ff.goto('http://mail.google.com/mail/h/x4odcwnm5f5v/?s=l&l=#{label}') <br /> a = [] <br /> # doing 'c.set' didn't work for me here so I had to do this hack of getting the value <br /> # and then acquiring the element thorugh ff.checkbox(:value,value) <br /> ff.checkboxes.each {|c| a << c.value} <br /> <br /> while a.length > 0 do <br /> c = [] <br /> a.each {|v| c << ff.checkbox(:value,v)} <br /> # checks all checkboxes <br /> c.each {|e| e.set} <br /> # clicks the drop-down entry for deleting <br /> ff.select_list(:name,'tact').select('In den Papierkorb verschieben') <br /> ff.button(:name,'nvp_tbu_go').click <br /> a = [] <br /> ff.checkboxes.each {|c| a << c.value} <br /> end <br />end <br /></code> Mon, 07 May 2007 21:54:04 GMT http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3961 helder (Helder Ribeiro)
