Hi

If this is the wrong place to post questions about Watir, please let me  
know.

Does anyone know what Internet Explorer settings need to be changed in  
order to run the Watir unit tests (e.g. table\_test.rb) without getting  
bombarded with Interent Explorer security errors.

Thanks

Read the “Having Problems” paragraph on page 3 of the Watir user guide;  
watir\_user\_guide.html, which should be in the /doc folder of where you  
installed Watir.
