user2240134:

i am new to Watir and having some problem getting the Count of a list item in a web page and outputting this out. i have tried the following

office_lists = browser_driver.li(:class, 'office')
office_list = browser_driver.li(:class, 'office')

office_list = Hash.new 0
office_list.links.each do |link|
  office_list[link] += 1
  puts office_list

but i have been unsuccessful with this. I was hoping someone could. Say these are all my li on the page

i would then like to put this in some sort of an array object, then get the count and the output the number of items like so

puts "There are #{count} number of offices in the list"

Any help would be much appreciated. also do i need to require anything such as "pp" or "p" or anything else or will Watir be enough for this task?

Many thanks,
