Yes, that's the idea. > No more jssh hell on Firefox? > Nope. > How would pop-ups be supported? WebDriver can control them?

The advantage of using WebDriver as the base is that when someone creates a fix, the various tools built on top will get that for free. We wouldn't need to develop any custom code in the Watir layer, just use the capabilities provided to use by WD. > Željko > > _______________________________________________ > Wtr-development mailing list > [email protected] > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-development > _______________________________________________ Wtr-development mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-development
