[Wtr-general] [question] Setting timeout for a ie.wait method?

[John Castellucci]

I had a similar requirement and addressed it by adding my methods to the
Element class.  This may not be the best solution, but it worked for me.
 
module Watir     
class Element
                        def click_wait(how_long = 30)
                                    wait_for(how_long)
                                    click
                        end
 
                        def wait_for(how_long=30)
                                    0.upto(how_long-1) do |n|
                                                if exists? 
                                                            if enabled?
                                                                        puts
"Waited #{n} sec for #{self.class}(:#{@how}, #{@what})" if n > 0
 
return
                                                            end
                                                end
                                                sleep 1
                                    end
                                    raise ("#{self.class}(:#{@how},
#{@what}) not found after #{how_long} sec") if ! exists?
                                    raise ("#{self.class}(:#{@how},
#{@what}) not enabled after #{how_long} sec")
                        end
            end
end
