[Wtr-general] Script hangs and does nothing

[Michael Bolton]

Yes:  I know that those are two different links, pointing to two different.
In fact, that was one of the key points of my message.
 
Your script clicks on the second link (
<http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony/buy/subs/newsub/index.aspx>
http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony/buy/subs/newsub/index.aspx)
 
When I point the W3C consortium's validator (http://validator.w3.org) at
that page, I get this report:

I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve
<http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony/buy/subs/newsub/index.aspx>: 

301 Moved

I wonder if Watir is also finding that the page moved, but doesn't know how
to cope.

Those two are different links. If you go to first link that you mentioned
and click on "New Subscriptions" button, that will take you to the second
link you mentioned.

This page has on it the heading "Series Tickets".

So they're different.  I'd start by investigating that, and what my earlier
message notes--on the latter page, 
<input type="image" name="template:ibNewSubscription"
id="template_ibNewSubscription" 

src="../../../_img/button/subs/newsubscription.gif" alt="New Subscription"
border="0" style=

"margin:7px auto;" />
is what you get, and this has no action associated with it.
This is an important heuristic.  It's not always true; it may not even be
true in this case. 


But it behooves us to consider the possibility:  when the test crashes, it
could be 
that it's because the application under test may actually have a bug in it.

Thats another thing. If you go to
http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony/buy/subs/ and click on those buttons
manually, they do work. But when i run the mentioned script on that site,
it: 

1) Sometimes doesn't render the button
2) if it does, it hangs
3) And sometimes it gives the same error that Bill Agee reported.

Saud
