Subject: Re: Not able to click on pop-up window in watir

1.  Popups are the bane of watir.  If you can't use wet or autoit
(which I think is installed by default in watir actually), you almost
can't do it at all.

2.  There is a mailing list specifically for watir, and the author
himself sometimes responds to questions, so you really should search
the list first for an answer, then post if and only if neccessary.

Check your installation and see if, in fact, it did install autoit
when you installed watir.

You see, the popup (assuming it's javascript, and not a fully fledged
legitimate html window) doesn't show up as an ie window in any sense.
It's a standard windows object, and isn't covered under the IE ole
object.  The only way to send click events to it, is to use some
library that reflects into it or some such nonsense.

Hope that helps.
