[Wtr-general] IE.GoTo - Can You Set A Timeout or an Idle?

[Norm]

It looks like there is an enhancement request for this:

http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-46

* IMO this is a critical addition for Watir as pages not loading completely are more common than you would think

The original RubyForge answer was:

"I think you can do this simply by wrapping the call in a thread
with a timeout. We should document how to do this, but i think
the best solution would not be to build this into the Watir tool."

I am not familiar with Threading and making Timeouts in such a way. I have tried it before however, with code I found on the net (it is in message #4, search for "ie.goto("www" to find it):

http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general@rubyforge.org/msg04433.html

I am open to this type of workaround if anyone knows how to do it...

Again, thanks for any help...
