For now, can I forget about the properties file, and have the Watir script put the url directly in the address bar? If that is possible I'll need the commands to do so.
I got nowhere with the links you sent. When I add p properties.getUrl to my script the output is there minus anything to the right of the left most equal sign. Turns from this: http://FooBar.com/AP/quote?source=club&aaaclubcode212&state=CA&zipcode=90210 To: http://FooBar.com/AP/quote?source So it is ignoring all the the right of the equals sign as I expected.
