Firewatir::Firefox has a method startClicker that does that:

$ ri startClicker

---------------------------------------- FireWatir::Firefox#startClicker
     startClicker(button, waitTime = 1, userInput = nil, text = nil)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Description:

       Tells FireWatir to click javascript button in case one comes
after performing some action on an element. Matches
       text of pop up with one if supplied as parameter. If text
matches clicks the button else stop script execution until
       pop up is dismissed by manual intervention.

     Input:

       button      - JavaScript button to be clicked. Values can be OK or Cancel
       waitTime    - Time to wait for pop up to come. Not used just
for compatibility with Watir.
       userInput   - Not used just for compatibility with Watir
       text        - Text that should appear on pop up.

What this really does underneath is to change the window.alert method
for one that returns what you tell it to. It doesn't really open a
window anymore.

I've used this successfully once.

Hope this helps,

Jesus.
