We're basically talking about links that result in AJAX actions that do not cause the page to reload and therefore do not allow Watir to notice the new content?
Have you tried this approach? http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Simple+Ajax+examples # Quick example of Ajax examples using Watir, should work with versions # 1.5.1.1148 and above. class Ajax_Example < Test::Unit::TestCase include Watir def test_scriptaculous_autocompleter browser = Browser.start('http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/ autocompleter') browser.text_field(:id, 'contact_name').set('al') # need to fire a key press event after setting the text since the js is handling # keypress events browser.text_field(:id, 'contact_name').fire_event('onkeypress') # the li/lis tags are available in watir 1.5.1 wait_until {browser.div(:id, 'contact_name_auto_complete').lis.length > 0} puts browser.div(:id, 'contact_name_auto_complete').lis.length puts browser.div(:id, 'contact_name_auto_complete').li(:index, 5).text browser.div(:id, 'contact_name_auto_complete').li(:text, 'Alan Jochen').click end end On Feb 26, 10:03 am, terevos <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm really just looking for a way to click a link and override the > delay - or just click without waiting.
