Bret, Jonathan: Thanks for these notes. I personally like Ruby's object oriented approach. The only 'flip' I found about ruby that I find is the relatively scarce resources / documentation when compared to Python. Almost all searches point to a different version of the 'pragmatic programmer'. Ar

The way i read this thread, the problem is that IE#wait() doesn't return until the page has stopped loading but the AOL page has continuously loading frames. Correct? Bret At 01:03 PM 7/28/2005, Paul Rogers wrote: This page at aol has several iframes that get updated with the latest 'hot sear
