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?

Thanks,

Thom

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!

You might also look at Atomic Objects' "SYSTIR" project as well:

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.
