Hi everyone,

So I have a small problem. I need to create a mock up of a Watir test  
against a site that uses both javascript drop down menus as well as CSS  
based drop down menus. I am unable to figure out how to get Watir to  
access the menus. As an aside, I will also eventually need to figure  
out how to have Watir fire off javascript actions on a page on command  
if that is even possible. If anyone has any examples of this or knows  
of a place where I can go to find some examples, that would be great.  
Google has been of surprisingly little use on the matter.

Thanks for the help,

Chad
