    <p>As far as searching goes, i was unable to find an up-to-date list of supported browsers for watir.</p> <p>I've just upgraded firefox to version 18, and while at it, also update the watir-webdriver version to it's latest (by using <code>gem update watir-webdriver</code>).</p> <p>So far i've encountered one issue, that i cant seem to find a solution for.</p> <p>When i try to check if an element exist, lets say by using <code>$browser.a(:href, "#{$url}/admin/").exists?</code> (The <code>$url</code> variable is defined to the main url of my testing server, so it's not the problem. Furthermore, even when i replace the variable with the actual address, i still encounter the same issue), I always get a timeout error when the element does <strong>not</strong> exists.</p> <p>When the element <strong>does</strong> exists, i will get an instant response of <code>true</code>. So the timeout issue only happens when the element does <strong>not</strong> exists.</p> <p><em>So my questions are:</em></p> <ol> <li>Is there a way to make the <code>.exists?</code> method work?</li> <li>Does anyone know any other issues like that with the latest version of Firefox(V. 18)? </li> <li>I would really appreciate if someone can point me to an updated list of watir supported browsers. Preferably a list that is being updated on a regular basis.</li> </ol> <p>P.S, I did see that someone posted a question about the <code>present?</code> method, i have no idea of it's related, but nonetheless, i still have no solution. I'd hate to downgrade to a previous version of ff.</p> <p>Thanks a bunch to anyone who will be willing to help,</p> <p>Kind regards, Asaf.</p>

    1. COWhat is the exact text of the error you get in the stacktrace? What is the version of Selenium-webdriver that you have installed? When you test against a browser other than Firefox does your script throw the same timeout error?

    2. COActually Abe, You solved the problem for me. i just needed to update the selenium-webdriver gem(which, in my foolishness, i forgot to do) and everything seems to be working as it should. Thanks a lot!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
