The guy in your linked article is trying to automate Mozilla using the IE Object. That is probably most of His problem since they use completely different DOMs.
Did you try adjusting your IE security settings? In IE select Tools >> Internet Options. Click the Security tab. Click the Custom Level button and scroll to the very bottom of the setting dialog. The User Authentication section gives you some IE options for logging in. If you choose the second option, make sure your site is listed in the 'Intranet Zone'. --Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris McMahon Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 3:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] hacked goto() almost working,any ideas? Re: anyone ever hacked Watir to do Basic Authentication? Finally, seems like my problem is just for frames. In fact, it seems exactly like this problem: http://www.talkaboutsoftware.com/group/microsoft.public.inetsdk.programm ing.webbrowser_ctl/messages/17461.html I've also tried navigating directly to the frame in question first, then to the main page, but it doesn't help, the browser still won't use auth credentials to request the frame.
