Then there definitely was some confusion. I thought I had read that thread carefully . . . but the only example I saw was     while not ($ie.link(:text,"Second").exists?)       sleep 0.5     end     $ie.link(:text,"Second").click and from the discussion, it very much appeared to me that you were proposing to add a (possibly optional) retry to the "exists?" method. When I asked you about it, you replied with: "What it would mean is that whenever Watir failed to find an object, it would sleep for a fraction of a second and then try again . . . "  which reinforced my impression that you were referring to the "exists?" method. If that is not what you were proposing, then there was definitely a misunderstanding.

The proposal isn't to change the exists? method, but rather the other methods. If you want a new name (for whatever method), please suggest one. Specifically, I propose that where you currently do this: while not ($ie.link(:text,"Second").exists?)   sleep 0.5 end $ie.link(:text,"Second").click You would instead just do this $ie.link(:text,"Second").click
