i have to handle the popup in my client page.  
this is my program:

ie.button(:name,‘BtnSubmit’).click\_no\_wait  
dialog = Watir::Dialog.new  
dialog.button(“OK”).click  
ie.waitForIE

but i got an error msg like,  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.3/./watir/dialog.rb:38:in  
`click’: Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException

Once click on submit button it ll show an  
popup msg. i hv to click on click button.

Please advise how to solve this popup issue?
