Re: Watir : Working in same session of IE

# Are you trying this out in Scite or is their something else

# Now, with the google url already open, I want to update the
# code in such

# new session of the browser. So, if I just add the 3rd line of my code
# and execute, it would definitely open a new instance of IE (since it
# will execute ie = Watir::IE.new again). I want to avoid that, hoping
# that there must be a logic between the first 2 lines and the 3rd line

nope. scite will reexecute your code fr start.

try irb, it will execute your code per line you enter.


# Another idea would be to check if there is an existing instance of IE
# already present and then we can just do ie.goto(url).

never tried that. that would mean searching for an ie instance and then attaching an ole object on it. but i do not know the criteria since there could be many ie instances open and many google pages open. wc one then? but that would be cool though.

kind regards -botp
