At someone's suggestion that the page just takes a long time to load, I decided to wrap a timer around the initial page IE.start command and discovered that it takes over 7.5 minutes for the page to load! That's like _eons_ in internet time! ;)
Anyhoo, that particular script no longer works because of some unexpected link names on one of the sub-pages. I'll post a reply to the blog later when I get a moment. I'm still interested in an answer to the following : If we need to hit a page that takes a really long time to complete, is there some way we can stop the Watir-wait and just send the next command to the IE browser? As impatient humans, we'd never wait for the page to finish loading before clicking the link we want. Can we do that with Watir? Cheers. Paul C.
