Thanks - this does look like a good approach. The table's layout doesn't change, it just reloads to update the data within the table with the entries that were just made in the popup window. It's a really annoying UI, especially when you have test cases that require changing a dozen rows and therefore opening the popup a dozen times.. hence why I'm quite eager to get Watir doing it instead.
However, each_with_index appears to be an undefined method for ie.table objects. I can iterate on .each just fine, but .each_with_index is undefined. (.rows is undefined as well; .each works fine if I leave it out) I'm wondering if maybe there's a way to store the indices of the buttons it's going to click on within the array, rather than the rows themselves. I tried buttons_to_click << row[5].link(:index,1), but that doesn't work.

Suggestion: Assuming that submitting and reloading doesn't affect the table layout, use rows.each_with_index to build an array of indices of relevant rows. Then cycle through the array clicking and submitting. For instance (untested, unfortunately): rows_to_click = Array.new ie.table(:index, 29).rows.each_with_index do |row, i| rows_to_click << i if (row[1].text =~ /#{journals}/) != nil end rows_to_click.each do |i| [Do the clicking and such for row i here.] end This could be made substantially prettier, but hopefully it gets the job done.
