I have posted in stack over flow as well. But here I want to details things, I am working in a insurance application, where cover screen consist of many textfield to enter insured amount, but after each entry to the text field, page is getting refreshed,but watir doesn't wait for page to be refreshed, it quickly goes into next text_field, but next field is not ready but watir enters the data, since page is getting refreshed in the mean time recent entry is getting deleted. This refresh is not happening not only text_field but for radio button as well(which cover to choose).
I thought there is no solution to the problem but recently I have moved to selenium project where they have clearly managed this problem through JavaScript, they have a function called waitForPageToLoad, so after each entry they have called this function, So it waits until the page loads, It perfectly enters the data. So I thought I was missing the same kind of arrangement in WATIR, So If you can create the function called waitForPageToLoad, this would resolve this problem.
