[wtr-general] Grrr! click_no_wait does not work :-(
I've been looking at ways of handling pop ups and it appears the way to go is via click_no_wait. Unfortunately this is not working for me as when I run the click_no_wait command it just flashes the button and does not click it hence no popup window. I'm running: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] watir (1.6.5) Any ideas? Thanks. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.

I am fairly sure it's not a hidden pop up or anything like that as if I manually click the button (after click_no_wait flashes it) the pop up is displayed. .click by itself works fine it's only click_no_wait which flashes the button and does not click it. This is turning into a real nightmare as we've introduced confirm pop ups in a number of places and all my scripts are stalling at this point. :-( -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Is the popup triggered by an onclick event, or an onmouseup or onmousedown

don't do those events. you'll have to explicitly

All I can say is that .click works.

Hi, it's not really a proper drop down list, it just looks like one.
It's in fact a read only text field which fires off some JS when you
click on it. The JS anchors a listbox underneath the text field. I
don't really know why it was coded this way, something to do with way
the form looks I was told.
Either ways I've found a solution to this problem after trawling this
NG. If you do a send_keys({TAB}) first and then invoke the focus
command it works fine.
Thanks for your post.

I got send_keys to work just like in autoit. However I don't
understand what you mean by use autoit. Are you saying you can use
autoit directly from within Watir? Is this by doing a require 'autoit'

[wtr-general] Component focus issues on different computers
I'm having some issues with setting focus to fields on different
computers.
I scripted some stuff over the weekend on my home computer where I set
focus to a field and then did some send_keys on the field. This
worked perfectly however on my work computer the same .focus command
sets focus to the browser URL field instead of the desired component.
I'm using the following command:
ie.text_field(:id, Request_Salutation_I).focus
ie.send_keys({DOWN})
Basically this just sets the salutation field on a request form to the
first value.

[wtr-general] Handling a windows file upload dialog box
Firstly, I should have probably mentioned in my previous posts I am a
Watir newbie. However I have done a fair bit or programming so have
some knowledge when it comes to using Watir.
Ok, my latest problem is to do with handling a windows file upload
dialog box. I've done searches through this NG and found that this is
a fairly common problem. The solutions I've come across suggest use
of .click_no_wait.
I'm trying to write some code that will click the file upload button,
enter a file name (full path) in the file name field and then hit
enter. This is what I tried:
ie.button(:name, file_upload_button).click_no_wait
ie.send_keys(c:\test.txt)
ie.send_keys({ENTER})
Unfortunately click_no_wait just flashes the button and the dialog box
does not pop up. I've tried click by itself and that opens the dialog
box but of course the rest of the script does not execute.
Any ideas?
