can you connect to jssh and do the actions from there rather than from Firewatir to check what is going wrong? So basically you go to page using Firewatir, then connect to jssh from console, send the command that you got from startclicker() to jssh. Then click button manually see if pop up comes?

This isn't going to work. Even if you didn't get the load error, you would see a syntax error when you tried to use the field. This is a ruby syntax error because class is a reserved word: view_activity_pattern_page.class = 'whatever' As a workaround, people usually use klass instead. Bret
