I still don't understand it all exactly. You had a browser object and ended up on the page where was a button, which created a javascript dialog upon clicking and then you used #attach for some reason and it didn't work? #attach should work, i don't see any reasons why it shouldn't.
But regarding Javascript popups i'd avoid them altogether by overriding appropriate javascript function at correct place. You can read more about that from "Simplest way to stop JavaScript Pop Ups from showing when running your Watir tests" at http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/JavaScript+Pop+Ups Jarmo On Jun 5, 1:05 pm, Babitha <babitha.augus...@gmail.com> wrote: > My original code contained an IE.attach to connect to the page where I > had the button that was pop opening the javascript dialog. > This is what I modified.
