I showed how you can deal with Open/Save dialogs in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01262.html Earlier, I posted a more complete and easy-to-use solution for dealing with Javascript dialogs (confirms and alerts): http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-August/003352.html A note when doing this stuff: modal dialogs are tricky partly because the Ruby thread will block, and partly because bits of Watir (Watir::Simple is the only bit I've had trouble with) specifically wait until IE is in Ready mode. You might need to override a method like Watir::Simple's wait_for_ie to not wait. Also, different IE versions may assign different titles and text in dialogs, making some of this AutoIt code non-portable, although that hasn't been a problem for me so far.
