How to find an Element in Watin by its tag name?

Question

How to find a specific element, or a list of elements by using their TagName using Watin?

Solution 1

As of WatiN 2.0 beta 1 this has changed to:

ie.ElementWithTag("h1", constraint);

Constraints are created when using the Find.XXX methods.

Here is an example:

ie.ElementWithTag("h1", Find.ByClass("blue"));

Solution 2

For example, to find the first <h1> on a page, use:

ie.Element("h1", Find.ByIndex(0))

Could you expand this example to show what is in the constraint object?

I -1, because this is obsolete

Be aware that you are iterating over all the elements in the page, where as ElementWithTag(tagname, constaint) only iterates over the elements with the given tagname.
