Hi Hua, I am running into the same problem now. Did you find any solution or workaround for this?
-- My Watir Script is able to click on Java script alerts (OK, Cancel etc) when the screen is not locked. -- But if my Screen is locked the same script is not able to click on Java Script alerts. When i leave for the day from work, i generally schedule my test scripts to run at a particular time in the night and will be checking the results in the morning. Since i have to lock my Screen while leaving from work, the script stops on Clicking the JavaScript alerts. Any help on this issue would be helpful. Thanks, Sridhar.
