[Wtr-general] Error clicking a button...

[Bret Pettichord]

You are getting an error in fireEvent because this method is being 
called from the set method that you are calling. The call stack shows us 
this. (Actually it shows that set calls doKeyPress, which calls fireEvent.)

I still think it is a synchronization problem. You can verify this by 
putting really long hard-coded sleeps before any lines in your script 
that are giving you errors. If this fixes the problem (even if only 
intermittently) then it is definitely a synchronization problem.

You said that ie.wait wasn't working for you. Were you getting errors? 
Was it simply not waiting long enough?
