I am getting a javascript pop up after I select a value from some drop down list using the select\_list method. Since I can not use click\_no\_wait for a list, how am I supposed to handle the pop up. Can anyone please provide a solution for it. I am using the following code to assess a select list, I am using Watir Version 1.5.1.1100 The code is as follows : require 'watir' # the watir controller require 'watir/winClicker.rb' require 'watir\contrib\enabled\_popup' require 'Enter\_on\_inputbox' enter\_on\_inputboxObj = Enter\_on\_inputbox.new instance = "c:\\aa.htm" ie=Watir::IE.start(instance) #THIS PART IS WORKING, using click\_no\_wait ie.image(:index,'4').click\_no\_wait enter\_on\_inputboxObj.startClicker(ie, $hwnd, "OK", 7, "Good") > **···** > > ############################### > > ie.select\_list(:name, "trx").select("First") > > # Here too a javascript box is coming, but I am unable to click on the > OK button > > I have defined a class name Enter\_on\_inputbox > > require 'watir/winClicker.rb' > class Enter\_on\_inputbox >     def initialize >     end > >     def startClicker( ie, hwnd, button , waitTime, user\_input) >         hwnd = ie.enabled\_popup(waitTime) # get a handle if one exists >             w = WinClicker.new >         if (hwnd) # yes there is a popup >             w = WinClicker.new >                  if ( user\_input ) >                      print(user\_input) >                      $stdout.flush >                 w.setTextValueForFileNameField(hwnd, "#{user\_input}") > >                  end >                 sleep 3 # I put this in to see the text being input it > is not necessary to work > >             w.clickWindowsButton\_hwnd(hwnd, "#{button}") # "OK" or > whatever the name on the button is >             w=nil # this is just cleanup >         end >     end > end > > After it select the value from list, a javascript pop up comes asking > for OK or Cancel, here my code get stops until I click manually on OK or > Cancel Button, please help me out from this. > > Thanks in advance > Vikash > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

Please provide a solution for this. Any help will be appreciated. You may wish to ask on the watir list. Alternatively, [watir javascript popup - Google Search](http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=watir+javascript+popup) will probably give you what you want. > **···** > > -- > Alex
