Again this is why we need some documentation. People don't know the difference
between these different kinds of popups. It would be useful to know
specifically when to use the modal dialog versus the enable_popup and
Winclicker code. Part of the reason for documentation is that not everything
posted in these forums is valid for the up to date versions of Ruby and Watir.
And people need to spend a lot of time hunting. Testers aren't going to do
that. Developers may.
