Spider 0.0.1.21 includes the ability to automatically close alerts, prompts, confirms and other common dialogs through the use of calls to registerDialogCloser() and unregisterDialogCloser() in userhook functions.

For an example, see closedialoghooks.js where registerDialogCloser() is called in the userhook userOnBeforePage() and unregisterDialogCloser() is called in the userhook userOnAfterPage.

Yet Another Spider Update which adds a new function loadScript() which can be used by user hook functions to load external scripts (Example).
