screen-scraping

I have a, what seems to be, rather common scenario I'm trying to work through.

I have a site that accepts input through two different text fields. If the input is malformed or invalid, I receive a Javascript pop-up notification.

I will not always receive one, but I should in the event of (like I said earlier) malformed data, or when a search result couldn't be found.

How can I detect this in WatiN?

A quick Google search produced results that show how to click through them, but I'm curious as to whether or not I can detect when I get one?

In case anyone is wondering, I'm using WatiN to do some screen scraping for me, rather than integration testing :)

Thanks in advance!
