Also, I encountered problems at first because of the active content
warnings in IE. I have left the warning popup to display every
time, because I don't always notice the yellowish stripe at the top
of the page. While this popup was present, the tests could not
function. Maybe there is a way to turn it off when doing Watir
tests and restore it to its previous setting afterwards? [I've had
to take the plunge and just remove it. I can't remember how to get
it back.]
I see you've since read our instructions that indicate that this setting needs to be changed to make the unit tests run.
This is the setting is in Tools-> Internet Options, Advanced Pane, Security section, called "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer". You don't need to turn this setting on for Watir in general, but it is required for the unit tests. It is the nature of this kind of setting that it can't be set automatically (e.g. from the unit tests). That would undermine it's ability to control security. At least that's my understanding: if anyone knows otherwise, speak up. I would love to take care of this automatically in the unit tests.
