[Wtr-general] ie.new vs. ie.goto() Re: goto in IE7 on Vista

[Beaton, Malcolm]

Probably a little hacky but I cant test it as I'm still on XP and watir 1.4 (Lazy I know)
 
try this 
ie = IE.new.goto(' http://foo' <http://foo'> )
 
Might fool it into keeping the same window

	Attaching to the new browser allows our scripts to work but I would prefer to avoid this exercise.

	Code:

	Ie = IE.new

	Ie.goto(url)


We just  did an experiment: 

ie = IE.new
ie.goto(' http://foo' <http://foo'/> )

For IE6, this is one window.  For IE7, this is 2 windows.


Some bit of magic that keeps goto() in the right window has gone haywire for IE7.
