The following example integrates autoit to monitor and process the Javascript pop-up window in a separate thread:

 

Require 'watir'

# Require 'win32ole' # already supported ded if you use 'require watir'

#

# Function to look for popups

Def check_for_popups

Autoit = win32ole. New ('autoitx3. control ')

#

# Do forever-assumes popups cocould occur anywhere/anytime in your application.

Loop do

# Look For window with given title. Give up after 1 second.

Ret = autoit. winwait ('Microsoft Internet Explorer ', '', 1)

#

# If window found, send appropriate keystroke (e.g. {enter}, {y}, {n }).

If (ret = 1) Then autoit. Send ('{enter}') End

#

# Take a rest to avoid chewing up cycles and give another thread a go.

# Then resume the loop.

Sleep (3)

End

End

#

# Main application code

# Setup popup Handler

$ Popup = thread. New {check_for_popups} # Start popup Handler

At_exit {thread. Kill ($ popup)} # Kill thread on exit of Main Application
