Brett/Charley, I am very sorry for not getting back to you any earlier on this (JMeter performance test priorities at the moment for me too).
I've tried this again on watir 1.6.2 - seems like an old bad habit of mine was causing some of the problems in my use of watir 1.6.2, notably the "include Watir" thing. In my experiments under watir 1.6.2 the issue I reported does NOT occur. So if I do the following from irb (or probably our framework that is built on top of watir for that matter): 1. Attach to the window; ie=Watir::IE.attach(:title,/Blah blah/) 2. Change properties of the application in the window attached to thus "dirtying" the window. 3. Closing the window; ie.close 4. When I do this, the Javascript popup appears but ie.close COMPLETES (irb does not hang) so that I can subsequently programmatically "OK"/"Cancel" the popup. If I do steps 1-3 under watir 1.6.5 then the Javascript popup appears but ie.close BLOCKS (irb hangs, control-C or OK on the Javascript popup unblocks it is required to cause ie.close to complete). So something appears to be some difference change in behaviour (to ie.close???) between watir 1.6.2 and watir 1.6.5. Since these experiments were carried out under IE 8 and Windows 7 in both cases I believe that I can rule these factors out. Hopefully this is of use to you in tracking this possible issue down.
