Can we automate silverlight screens using watir? On the home page of watir, it's written that watir can automate any web application no matter what platform it is built on. But I read that it doesn't support applets or microsoft silverlight. Please help me regarding this. If we can automate silverlight screens, then please tell how?

No, watir can not automate anything inside browser plugin.

Content inside plugins such as Flash and Silverlight is not really exposed inside the DOM and so is difficult to test with Watir. However there are other tools you can use in combination with Watir such as Sikuli (use Jruby in that case to run watir, cucumber etc and use them in combination with Sikuli which is java based)
