Is it possible to have one global variable across multiple files?
In the example below "$ie" is the global variable in the file "open.rb".
File: Login:
#Includes
require 'watir' # the watir controller
include Watir
require 'open'
require 'Login' #login include
File: open.rb:
def start #open the IE browser
$ie = IE.new
end
#call start method...
start
$ie.goto(logIN.url)

This is a classic refactoring exercise. Look up "Module" in the Pickaxe, or look around at the Watir distro for some fairly advanced examples. (I'm doing this right now on my current project, once you start, you'll get the hang of it quickly.) -Chris
