Yeah, I had this exact problem and I got it working when I down-graded to 1.8.6-26 (http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29263/ ruby186-26.exe)
Here's the code I used to always check for a popup anywhere in my script: #Function to Close Javascript Popups When they Occur def jsClicker( button="OK", waitTime=0) loop do begin hwnd = $win.enabled_popup(waitTime) if (hwnd) # yes there is a popup w = WinClicker.new w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, "#{button}" ) w=nil $popup = true end rescue end end end def popup_check(results) if($popup) $popup = false return "Javascript Popup occurred during test" else return "Javascript Popup did not occur during test" end end I use that global variable to keep track of them when they showed up and automatically click "OK", and called popup_check() at the end of every test so I could pass/fail it based on whether or not I expected a popup. I created a thread at the beginning of the program that just went off and did its thing: $sc = Thread.new{jsClicker("OK",0)} $popup = false Then you just need to make sure all your clicks that you think might have a popup are "click_no_wait"s. Also, I found that something I was defining as a button and using click on, I had to redefine as an image (it was an image, but I could call it a button and click would work) for "click_no_wait" to fire correctly on it. If you want to not have it run continuously, then take out the loop in "jsClicker()" and just call it with a wait time of a few seconds after your click_no_wait call. Hope this helps! -Dylan On Jul 16, 8:19 am, Smruti Ranjan Kar <smrutiranjan....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Charley, > > I'm using ruby186-27_rc2 > > C:\Documents and Settings\user>ruby -v > ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] > > On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 7:58 PM, Charley Baker <charley.ba...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > Try click! instead of click_no_wait, which specific version of Ruby are you > > using, the latest one click 1.8.6rc2?
