Question

I have few questions on this as selenium always need windowid to get control over popup.

1-What is the best way to get the windowid of any popup.

3-is it necessary that we must get the windowid of the each & every popup in the view source of the page. if not so what will be work-around.

4-Is window id present in any java-script function? if so ,there is one example I didn’t get Window id of popup

script language=”javascript”

begin

function popup(){

window.open(‘URL/to/popup.html’,’PopupName’,’toolbar=0,location=0, status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=345,height=400′); }

// end

/script

Answer 1

1-What is the best way to get the windowid of any popup.
The best way to get window handle is by name (window.open(url, “Name”, options))

_selenium.WaitForPopup("Name", "3000");

3-is it necessary that we must get the windowid of the each & every popup in the view source of the page. if not so what will be work-around.
It may not be necessary to have a window name or handle. You can even refer to them as:

_selenium.WaitForPopup("", "3000");
