Firewatir::Firefox has a method startClicker that does that:

$ ri startClicker

---------------------------------------- FireWatir::Firefox#startClicker
startClicker(button, waitTime = 1, userInput = nil, text = nil)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

Tells FireWatir to click javascript button in case one comes
after performing some action on an element. Matches
text of pop up with one if supplied as parameter. If text
matches clicks the button else stop script execution until
pop up is dismissed by manual intervention.

Input:

button - JavaScript button to be clicked. Values can be OK or Cancel
waitTime - Time to wait for pop up to come. Not used just
for compatibility with Watir.
userInput - Not used just for compatibility with Watir
text - Text that should appear on pop up.

What this really does underneath is to change the window.alert method
for one that returns what you tell it to. It doesn't really open a
window anymore.

I've used this successfully once.

Hope this helps,

Jesus.

But the thing is... if you click first.. ff keeps waiting and doesn't
return the control to ruby so in theory the only way to do it is call
startClicker first and then click the button... but it's not working
properly since what it is doing is just closing the JS window but not
clicking on the button as you can see in this example:

require "firewatir"
$ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new() #create an object to drive the browser
$ff.goto("http://w3schools.com/js/tryit_view.asp?filename=tryjs_confirm")
$ff.startClicker( "OK", 4)
$ff.button(:value,"Show a confirm box").click
sleep 3
$ff.close()

I don't know if you have other example that does something in the page
when OK is clicked.
What startClicker does, is to override the window.alert function with
a function that returns OK, so really no popup is open at all.
