In a sense. Think of it like this: Watir is a set of instructions in Ruby for manipulating Windows OLE and COM interfaces. FireWatir removes the OLE/COM stuff and replaces it with the jssh (javascript shell) Firefox extension. SafariWatir removes the OLE/COM stuff and replaces it with Applescript. In practice, this means that some methods available on one platform won't be available on another platform. Also, since these are all separate projects started at different times and growing at different rates, some features that might be shared, won't be shared. For instance, Watir has a built-in page-load timer, but FireWatir does not. These feature-mismatches are something that Bret, Angrez, and others would like to improve. If you were to use Watir and FireWatir in a serious manner and report discrepancies between them here and on OpenQA/Rubyforge, that would be a big incentive to make the projects share more code and more features. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
