the exists? method is useful for this.
You can also do something like this
ie.button(:value , 'Click me for ajax').click
until ie.div(:id , 'from_ajax').exists?
sleep 1
# add stuff here so you dont wait for ever
end
I thought that there was also a method like
ie..div(:id , 'from_ajax').wait_until_exists_with_timeout( 5 )
but I cant see it now...
