I think the issue is that since it's being invoked by client-side code, watir doesn't really know to expect a page load at that time
Have you by any chance tried to click that div as if it was a button, using the ID to identify it? Since I see some ajax in there, I guess the first question is, is the system truely re-loading the page, or is it just updating it? In other words, does the browser actually act like a page is loading, does it ever say anything but 'done' in the status bar? do you see any of the 'animations' done by the browser to indicate a page is being loaded? If it is only updating portions of the page, it makes getting a load time a lot harder. It's been a while since I've played with this (since I needed to) but I could swear that in the past Watir was a little less obsessive about elements exactly matching the specific element type when you were identifying them by ID (I think the logic was that since there should be only ONE thing on that page with that id value, if we found one, it must be the one you wanted). b.button(:id, "configure_access_left").click The reason I say that is that doing that might cause watir to do it's normal 'wait for the page to load' thing. I'm not sure, but it might be worth a shot. (that or adding that command right after the one that does the mouseup event, instead of a sleep) Instead of sleeps, read up on waiting with watir.. in cases like this it's sometimes easier to just have a small loop that waits for a expected object to exist within the page, as an indication you are ready to proceed. (or conversely if the app displays some kind of 'loading' icon, you wait for that to go away) On Mar 17, 3:29 am, vin <vinay...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Guys, > > Debugging further shows that with "sleep" the response time and bytes > recieved are proper but when "sleep" is removed the time and recieved > bytes are "zero".
