It's basically: ie.goto 'page that redirects' ie.link(:id, 'MyLink').click On IE8 the 'click' call will fail because Watir cannot find the link (redirect hasn't finished yet so this is expected). On IE8 everything works just fine.

Sorry for mistakes, it must be: On __IE6___ the 'click' call will fail because Watir cannot find the link (redirect hasn't finished yet so this is expected). On IE8 everything works just fine.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't wait for redirect to complete on IE6
If by manually you mean irb then the behaviour stays the same: IE6 - browser reaches page that redirects and Watir returns from goto call without waiting for redirect. IE8 - browser reaches page that redirects and follows the redirect. Watir will return from goto call only after page we have been redirected to has loaded. I'm talking about 302 redirect.

Yes, IE6 redirects just fine.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't wait for redirect to complete on IE6
The thing is that sometimes the page redirects to some of our internal Error Pages and that's ok if the links are missing... We're expecting the exceptions. But adding special logic to handle all those little redirect exceptions for all the pages is too much. I'm better off adding a sleep 30 after goto and hope that it redirects in the meantime :). I will investigate further this issue and see if I find anything useful.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't wait for redirect to complete on IE6
Ok... I think I figured it out. This wasn't the default IE6 behaviour. Windows Update installed some patches that didn't require a reboot... and IE got to behave this way... A reboot fixed it, but I think this should raise some questions.

[wtr-general] Re: Hover link which doesn't have onmouse* event handler
Found the solution:
Watir.autoit.MouseMove(my_link.document.getBoundingClientRect.left.to_i
+1,my_link.document.getBoundingClientRect.top+1)

But how do I call this 'mouseover'? Simply calling
fire_event('mouseover') doesn't work.
Maybe you should fire all events listed, in the sequence they appear. The
best thing would be to ask a developer what event(s) should be fired.
