Chris, Thanks for the reply... I looked at Selenium but it appears that it has to be installed on the server hosting the item... For my testing, that is not always possible or desirable... I am looking more for an automated script like Watir...
Also I keep trying to run the cmd window example suggested but I get error messages... The path is not correct -- blah blah blah ... I think it has to do with the space in the path "Program Files" where Watir was installed. I understand that Watir needs to live in this path structure? Suggestions on this?

Bret said recently on the list: ################################## But there you can get it to run in a nifty GUI if you run it with a command line argument. In a cmd window you can do this: test.rb --runner=t You can also create a shortcut to your test and then edit the target in the properties to include this argument. Then when you double click on it, it will run in its GUI. Target: C:\workspace\watir\unittests\div_test.rb --runner=t Everybody should actually give this a try. It looks cool! ######################################3 You might also look at Atomic Objects' "SYSTIR" project as well: http://atomicobject.com/systir.page > From my reading on Watir, it sounds like it may be supporting other > browsers in the future, but not currently... You might give Selenium a try: http://www.openqa.org/selenium/ It's a little fussier than Watir (and is missing some things that Watir has, like support for frames), but it might serve your purposes. -Chris _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
