I observe only one thing that's odd about this.
When I start up IE manually, I'm taken to google.ca (the Canadian version).
The title bar for the window reads "Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer".
I set IE.attach_timeout to 15. I issue this command
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /oogle/)
and the ie object successfully attaches.
This line of code fails to find the same window:
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Microsoft/)
Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: Unable to locate a window
with title of (?-mix:Microsoft)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-
1.5.0.934/./watir.rb:1268:in `attach_browser_window'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-
1.5.0.934/./watir.rb:1135:in `attach_init'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-
1.5.0.934/./watir.rb:1128:in `attach'
from (irb):9
from ♥:0
However, it does find the "Microsoft" when I go to Microsoft's site. In
this case, the window is titled "Microsoft Corporation - Microsoft Internet
Explorer".
I would conclude that the " - Microsoft Internet Explorer" is not part of
the title, even though it looks like it from a human point of view.

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] How can my script wait until a new window
hasfinished loading before using IE.attach?
The code base in development allows you to configure this.
IE.attach_timeout = 10
This is number of seconds to wait for the window specified in attach
statements to appear/load. This should be exactly what you are asking
for.
Paul, Mark, Anyone: Lemme know happens if you try this out. Does it
solve your problem?
(There is a lot of great stuff in development, which is why i'm eager
to stabilize the code base and make a new release.)
