require ‘rubygems’
require ‘firewatir’

ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto “http://www.google.com“

sleep 1
ff.text_field(:name, ‘q’).set(‘?’)

For Watir 1.6.5, the Chinese charaters can be supported by replacing the script WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 with WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_ACP in the file of C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.6.5\lib\watir\win32ole.rb

require ‘watir’

require ‘firewatir’

puts Watir::IE::VERSION

puts FireWatir::Firefox::VERSION
