Jim is right on the money here, I'm probably going to somewhat end up

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply.
I am already using IE development toolbar, but that's not the issue.
I think Jim is very much clear in his statement and I have to talk to
developers and manager for this problem.
BUT I think it will be good for future of Watir if we can have some

I can suggest one solution to your problem even developers will not

(repository), that may be a XML, EXCEL, or in ruby file itself.
