You could trap the exception that's thrown, but that could get kind of
ugly. Especially as its probably a weird OLE exception.
It seems like we need a closed? Method on ie. It would be trivial to do
it when watir closes a window, but Im not sure I know how we would do it
if the window is closed by javasscript or a user. ( maybe something like
this.)
I don't have the code handy, so Im going off memory
Class IE # is this the correct class
def window_exists?
begin
if <ole_object>.hWnd == -1 # I cant remember what the
variable name for the actual browser is
return false
end
return true
rescue
return true
end
end
end
You could try something like this and let us know how you get on ;-)

Subject: [Wtr-general] Detecting a closed IE
Hi,
When you open a new ie window and your homepage is blank
require 'watir'
$ie = Watir::IE.new
you can use $ie.url=="" to detect that the blank IE is open
When you close this window ($ie.close), how can I detect that the window
is closed?
Peter
