[wtr-general] Re: waitr - problem with autoit WinActivate - fails at random
Did you try all the solutions on http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/JavaScript+Pop+Ups solution #3 (after some customization) works for me very consistently.

[wtr-general] Re: waitr - problem with autoit WinActivate - fails at random
I tried most of the solutions listed there. Had a hell of a time trying to make one solution work consistently across different windows platforms, as some solutions work (sometimes though) on Win 7/IE8 with a patched ruby 1.8.6-27 , but not on XP/IE7 with ruby 1.8.6-26 and vice versa. I finally gave up on Autoit and settled with a pure win32ole based solution (solution # 7) that seems to work consistently fine for me on Win7 x64 with a patched ruby 1.8.6-27 which is my main testing platform.

Hi Alpin How did you get the click_no_wait to work on the patched ruby 1.8.6-27. Is the patch on ruby 1.8.6-27, to solve this problem? If so could you share the patch?

Tony, you can find the patch here: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-320 Need to manually apply the patch as the line numbers in the patch might not be correct for your version of watir (they are not for watir 1.6.5) The patch works fine for me with ruby one-click installer 1.8.6-27 on Win7 x64.
