Hi,  
I’m using watir 182(the version that supports modal dialog) to automate  
a test.there is this pop up modal dialog where I have to click on  
checkbox to choose an interval. rightnow seems it could not even detect  
the existence of this modal dialog.  
is there any other way I could identify it, e.g. id or name?

if($ie.modal\_dialog(:title,“Intervals – Webpage Dialog”).exists?)  
then  
puts “dialog found”  
end

thanks
