Hi,
You will have to re-atach the first window back to the instance after you have closed the second widnow. Something like : @obj.button(:x,y).click sleep 2 @obj=Watir::Browser.attach(:title,Second window) @obj.close sleep 2 @obj=Watir::Browser.attach(:title,First window) sleep 2 @obj.link(:x,y).click Not sure it will solve your problem but I guess it will cos re-attaching always worked for me.:) Thanks Rohan Ojha ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pavithra [[email protected]] Sent: 08 November 2010 16:11 To: Watir General Cc: [email protected] Subject: [wtr-general] Re: How to get back to the base browser window after closing the second browser instance Karthik, I tried using but its throwing the same error. One interesting thing here is it is able to identify the initial browser however its failing to find the elements. I tried $browser.close() (after closing the 2nd browser instance) it worked, but not identifying the elements in the browser [when I try to click some link instead of $browser.close()]. However the same elements are getting identified before closing the second browser instance, so getting confused. Thanks, Pavithra Hi, if you use global $ instead class instance @@ it should work. Cheers.
