Tony - 05/Sep/08 05:46 AM Hi, i have tested the below code successfully when the page is stuck loading continuously. This should timeout when ie is loading for more than 30 secs. Also a method could be added to set the timeout. The timeout in watir and firewatir would have to be set to the same value. def wait(no_sleep=false)       @rexmlDomobject = nil       @down_load_time = 0.0       a_moment = 0.2 # seconds       start_load_time = Time.now              @tcount = 150 if @tcount.nil? ## -- this is the calculated count ... numofsecs/a_moment (150 = 30 secs)ss       acount=1              begin         while @ie.busy && acount < @tcount# XXX need to add time out           #puts "WAITING@@@@@@@@ #{acount}"           acount += 1           sleep a_moment         end         raise "Timeout Exception : Timeout after #{acount * a_moment}secs" if acount == @tcount ... the remaing code in wait method. def setTimeOut(val=30) #mention the number of seconds       @tcount = val/0.2 ## -- this 0.2 is supposed to be a_moment end -Tony

Kirill Paliy - 29/Oct/08 03:31 PM I'm suffering from sporadic Watir hang ups, added some logging to ie.rb and found that it hangs if frame with about:blank appears. As a temporary workaround I hacked ie.rb       while doc = documents_to_wait_for.shift         begin           until doc.readyState == "complete" or doc.readyState == "uninitialized" do Not sure if this conforms project coding style but I believe it's better to skip such a frames rather than wait on them.
