By "having the access right" do you mean access as in "permissions" or just you're not accessing it correctly?
I have been using enabled_popup and WinClicker to interact with javascript modal dialogs with decent success. The button I had to click was labelled "Open" but the button name I had to pass to WinClicker was "&Open" I don't know if this is a convention or if it's just in my app. I found this out by ie = attach (...) # manually click the button to create the modal hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(3) w = WinClicker.new w.get_static_text_hwnd(hwnd) => ["Look &in:", "", "File &name:", "Files of &type:"] w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, 'Open') => false w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, '&Open') => true if you do a puts w.methods you'll see the methods like get_static_text_hwnd get_win_title getStaticText getStaticText_hWnd get_static_text_hwnd that you can try using to figure out what the button is actually called. hopefully i'm not just telling you stuff you already know/have tried...
