Hi,

This question is more to do with Watir. How do I switch focus on a popup  
window and continue working in it? I’ve tried this:  
hwnd = @ie.enabled\_popup(4)  
if(hwnd)  
w=WinClicker.new  
w.makeWindowActive(hwnd)  
hwnd.image(:name, ‘search’).click  
end

But it didn’t work. Could someone has a clue?

Thanks,  
maung
