Hello,
I have been trying to use the second method described above with no success.
I am trying to clear a security dialog that appears after clicking a "Sign
In" button. I can see that the button gets clicked, then the script blocks.
If I kill the script ( by closing the browser, or whatever ) I get this
error message:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir/contrib/enabled_popup.rb:10:in
`enabled_popup': uninitialized constant Watir::PageContainer::GetWindow
(NameError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir/contrib/enabled_popup.rb:9:in
`until_with_timeout'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir.rb:210:in
`wait_until'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir.rb:210:in
`until_with_timeout'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir/contrib/enabled_popup.rb:9:in
`enabled_popup'
from C:/ruby/mattj/scanmus/scanmus3.rb:79

Can anyone tell me what the problem is, or how I can debug this further? Why
is this not initialized? Does that mean I have some kind of path or other
environment problem. I am using WinXP SP2, ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25)
[i386-mswin32], watir 1.5.1.1100.

Thanks in advance.
