[Wtr-general] Exception handling

[Daniel Browne]

>From the Watir user guide:

Popup Windows

----------------------------------%<--------------------------------------
JavaScript generated popups such as Alert boxes, Windows Security
popups, and other popups that are not contained in a web browser are
not accessible the same way HTML pages are. There has been some
experimental code packaged with Watir to deal with popups with limited
success. A good popup handling solution is being worked on and will be
included in a future Watir release. In the mean time, AutoIT is
installed with Watir. Look at "jscript_test.rb" in the unittests
directory, and search the mail list archives for more information.

Watch for a Watir solution in a future release.
----------------------------------%<--------------------------------------

For standard IE windows try using e.g.

ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, 'http://mytestsite')
ie3 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, 'Test New Window')


Cheers,
Daniel.
