E.g.: ie.button(:value, OK).dont_return_until_this_element_exists This would be analogous to the existing ie.wait method, except that that waits for the page to load the browser to no longer be busy. The only thing is -- what should it be called? Some ideas... ie.button(:value, OK).wait_until_exists? ie.button(:value, OK).wait_til_exist? ie.button(:value, OK).wait ie.button(:value, OK).ever_exist?

That woudl work. What would be nice would be something like this: @ie.wait(10) { button(:id, 'btnOne) span(:id, 'blah') } I'm not sure how that would translate into working code though. Also, is it enough to just check that the item exists? Often I have items that are being updated via AJAX style code and they exist, but they are changing, so I'm looking to see if the value is something specific or something different than last time.

Re: [Wtr-general] Wait for control to exist
How about the easy way. Just alias your nice until_with_timeout to wait_until so both names work and just use that your first format with the block. That way the block can contain any code that returns a boolean, which will allow Andy's request for multiple element support to work like: wait_until(timeout) { ie.button(:id, 'btnOne').exists? and ie.span(:id, 'blah').exists? } with the timeout being optional and using a default_timeout like Bret suggests below. This can then support all *sorts* of things that folks wait for, including thing like the displayed spinners that I was waiting to appear and then disappear.

Re: [Wtr-general] Wait for control to exist
Our solution is better than that. Bret already has a method that I've been using and it's generic enough that you can wait for just about anything. He's stated that he'll just be renaming it to wait_for. On a web scraper I have there is an AJAX request that fires when one of the fields is changed. When this happens, a graphical spinner image appears to let you know it's making a request. The spinner is always there, but the DIV containing it gets changed from hidden to visible and back again. I'm able to wait for the style to change to visible and then wait for the style to change to hidden (even though the DIV *always* exists) like this (using the new wait_for() method name): # wait for Updating spinner to appear wait_for(5) do @ie.div(:id, 'pnlLoading').document.style.invoke('display') != 'none' @ie.div(:id, 'pnlLoading').document.style.invoke('visibility') != 'hidden' end # wait for Updating spinner to hide wait_for(30) do @ie.div(:id, 'pnlLoading').document.style.invoke('display') == 'none' || @ie.div(:id, 'pnlLoading').document.style.invoke('visibility') == 'hidden' end The wait_for method will just keep trying the supplied block until the block returns true or the timeout has passed (where it will throw an exception).

Thanks Bret, but i still get the same error. Creating the "ie" instance works fine. It fails when I try to reference the link inside the div tag. I peeked in the code for "getLink" and it fails at the lines : def getLink( how, what ) links = document.all.tags("A") Apparently, the document object is nil. Accessing the link from the "ie" instance also calls "getLink" but in that case the document object isn't nil. It's only nil when I access the "link" collection of the div object.

Re: [Wtr-general] Trouble with links in a div

It's only nil when I access the link collection of the div object. I'm not quite sure what's going on here ... I think you may need to use 1.5 to get nested objects to work. It only worked for a few objects in 1.4.1.Bret ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
