Subject: RE: [Wtr-general] Connecting to a second window

Thanks for this. It is a pop up that is invoked using java script. I
have been looking for AutoIt in the Watir API, but can not find it.

If this is a modal popup, then you can't attach to it.

If you click on the main window, but the popup window stays on top, then
it is modal.

If it's small, you can try handling it with AutoIt.

Sorry folks.
