#drag_contents_to(destination_how, destination_what) ⇒ Object

Drag the entire contents of the text field to another text field

19 Jan 2005 - It is added as prototype functionality, and may change
 * destination_how   - symbol, :id, :name how we identify the drop target
 * destination_what  - string or regular expression, the name, id, etc of the text field that will be the drop target

#value=(v) ⇒ Object

Sets the value of the text field directly. It causes no events to be fired or exceptions to be raised, so generally shouldn’t be used. It is preffered to use the set method.

end

#verify_contains(target) ⇒ Object

Returns true if the text field contents is matches the specified target, which can be either a string or a regular expression.

Raises UnknownObjectException if the object can't be found

– I vote for deprecating this we should use text_field().text.include?(some) or text.match(/some/) instead of this method
