looks like this cant be done easily. the new properties are on a per request
object basis, and not any easily acccessibl global object.
so the best way is to use the loop below. I think there is a method in watir to
do it directly, but I cant remember what it is

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Watir with Ajax
IE7 introduced some new properties to show when ajax requests were completed.
I can take a look and see how useful those wuld be.
would something like the following make more sense?
# button click causes ajax request
ie.button(:name , 'ff').click
# wait for ajax request to finish
ie.wait_for_ajax_requet_to_finish
ie.select_list(..).exist? # returns true hopefully
or should the existing wait methods be extended to encompass ajax
functionality?

You can wait in a loop till the select box is loaded or use some kind of
indicators like in gamil the top right corner of window reads "Loading..." when
the mails are being loaded.
In your case you can wait for the control itself
#while the control exists is false sleep
while(!ie.select_list( :name , "criteria[1][type_id]").exists?)
sleep(2)
end
#the select box is loaded now
go ahead with other operations.
If some text is displayed on the page as result of ajax call, you can also
check for that
while(!isMessageDisplayed("text displayed on page"))
end
#The Ajax control is loaded
end
Hope this helps.

I can't send a link to my application as it is in my local host. I am
sorry for this.
The "select" option will be generating after i click on the link. Its
ajax stuff. So that select can't be shown in the html. It is generating after
the whole page is loaded. So wat should be done for such type of application??
