If the popups are appearing when you're closing the browser, executing that bit of code before closing the browser should prevent popups from appearing in the first place, assuming it's JavaScript that's doing that. I got it from this page: http://watirwebdriver.com/javascript-dialogs/ I've used it myself on a few pages which trigger events when you try to close them, works like a charm :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
