Cannot get control focus or see any safari objects

[problemchild]

O/S: Windows 7

Base Langauge: Ruby using AutoItX3.dll through ruby win32ole library

I have some code which gets the coordinates of a window control.

It works for firefox, ie, opera, chrome but for some reason safari escapes it.

Using a live console I have debugged the behaviour.

The behaviour:

- Attempt to get control of safari control and find cannot get control focus or even get coordinates of the control.

- Use AutoIt v3 Windows Info tool and get info on the control

- Run exactly the same code again and find it magically gets control focus and gives me coordinates of the contrl.

I have a real knowledge gap that I don't seem able to bridge.

Could someone lower the drawbridge so I can get in the castle please?
