Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args)

Will dispatch all missing methods to the #browser instance.

Examples:

Makes it possible to use Watir::Browser methods without specifying the browser instance in the specs like this:

it "should do something" do
  # notice that we're calling Watir::Browser#text_field here directly
  text_field(:id => "foo").should be_present
end
