If it's safe to assume that the only two browser windows open will be
the parent window and the popup window, then the following example
might work for you. There may be a more graceful way to do this, but
this seemed to work when I tested it out. Also, if more than two
windows are open, then it will probably not do the right thing,
either. :) In that case it may match the wrong window.
The technique of using the regexp "//" to loop through all browsers is
from an example for closing all open browsers that someone posted to
the list a while ago.
== BEGIN CODE SNIPPET ==
unwantedTitle = ie.title # assumes 'ie' contains your parent browser.
done = 'unknown'
while (done != 'yes')
# Start looping through all open browsers.
begin
header = Regexp.new(//)
tempIE = IE.attach(:title, header)
# The first time the temp IE title does not match the parent's title,
# assume we're done and bail out of the loop, saving the match in 'ie2'
if (tempIE.title != unwantedTitle)
ie2 = tempIE
done = 'yes'
end
rescue NoMatchingWindowFoundException
# If we didn't find a match, just leave the loop.
done = 'yes'
end
end
p ie2.title # to check what browser was matched
== END CODE SNIPPET ==
