Hi,

I have to open links (about 3000) and then close them.  
The problem is, that after 70 open/close event the IE (FF not supported  
in our WebServer) crashes, stuck in memory and the script collapses.

The script:

def link\_clicker()  
if $br.frame(…).exists? then  
$br.frame(…).lis.each do |linke|  
linke.click  
$br\_new = Watir::IE.attach(:url,linke.href)  
if not $br\_new.pageContainsText(text) then  
puts “No match” #only debug feature  
end  
$br\_new.close  
end  
else puts “Doesn’t find list!”  
end  
end

Any ideas how to solve the problem, please?  
Thank you
