That's exactly as what Prajakta said, you can try the method provided below.
def new_window
# get a handle if one exists
aa = Win32API.new("user32", "GetForegroundWindow",[] , 'L')
hwnd = aa.call
if (hwnd) # yes there is a popup
return Watir::IE.attach(:hwnd, hwnd)
else
return nil
end
end
$ie = Watir::IE.start("your_url")
$ie.link("your_link").click
if ie2 = new_window
ie2.close
end
Thanks.

For life, the easier, the better.
