Couple of examples.
you can use git to clone the Watir project from http://github.com/bret/watir
or just downloa the source in a zip file.
Then look at Rakefile and see how the same unittests are being run by
Firefox and IE.
There is a wealth of information there. Do run the unittests.
also notice the use of tagging in test files.
you can also download watirloo gem, it has an example of running the
some of the same set of spec files for both FF and IE.
You can run watir code by setting options before the code is executed
then
browser = Watir::Browser.new
will return either FF or IE
study unittests
