When selecting an option from a select list in a modal dialog, an exception
occurs regarding an undefined method 'focus' for Watir::ModalDialog.
>From the code, it looks like the problem will occur whenever the focus method
>is called for an element within a modal dialog. The focus method calls focus
>for its container. The ModalDialog does not have a focus method defined and
>therefore throws an exception when it is the container.
For example, given a page with a modal dialog:
````html
<html>
<body>
<h1>Modal Dialog Launcher</h1>
<input type="button" value="Launch Dialog"
onclick="window.showModalDialog('test.htm');"/>
</body>
</html>
````
and the page that is displayed in the modal dialog (test.htm):
````html
<html>
<body>
<select id="my_select">
<option>Honda</option>
<option>Toyota</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
````
The following script will throw an exception when selecting an option from the
select list. Note that within the select method, the focus method for the modal
dialog gets called.
````ruby
require 'watir-classic'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto('file:///C:/Users/jko/Desktop/modal_dialog.html')
browser.button.click_no_wait
browser.modal_dialog.select_list.select('Toyota')
