Have you been to igoogle? Those information boxes are widgets.
The html is basically Div(:id,widget_blah), but when a page open they use ajax to load the information on the widgets separately from the rest of the page. As for button_id is the a variable I use for a button button_id = $ie.button(:text,"blah") I think I might have figured out a solution.

What's a widget? My search on Wikipedia turns up this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget. I also have no clue as to what button_id or object_id are - though I can take guess, but it's custom code. Simplify and post some real live code for your stuff and the html for the app. Charley Baker blog: http://blog.charleybaker.org/ Lead Developer, Watir, http://wtr.rubyforge.org QA Architect, Gap Inc Direct On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 1:53 PM, Moochie <dduph...@redbrickhealth.com> wrote: When I open a page that has widgets it hangs on assert(object.exists?) I've tried. Added a long wait to make sure the page is fully loaded. Which did nothing. I've minimized the page - "which worked" When it's running, and it starts to hang, I open another browser/or click different page ot tab and it no longer hangs. I've put timers in and realized it freezes on the follow: assert(object_id.exists?) #Any object if button_id == nil I opened in Firefox and the page doesn't display errors when using Firebug. I'm actually testing using IE 7.0. Has anyone run into this or does anyone have a suggestions?
