Thank you gents. The Watir::Alert objects are exactly what I needed. Only downside is that I have to switch to watir-classic from the standard watir, since I'm testing primarily in IE. So far there aren't any side effects. *fingers crossed* And thanks for your continued help. This is one of the most supportive communities I've dealt with.
