Question

I want to get focus or select an window which pop-up’s on click to the link and the link has following tags in html

<a target="_restaurant_50" href="/impersonate/50">View Dashboard</a>

if i put window name as _restaurant_50 it gives the following error in IDE

Window does not exist. If this looks like a Selenium bug, make sure to read http://seleniumhq.org/docs/04_selenese_commands.html#alerts-popups-and-multiple-windows for potential workarounds. 

How can i get the focus on this window please help…
I tried all the ways specified on net such as get all windows*, select by title but it gives the parent title only, webdriver PHP switch window, etc.

the number 50 is as per the number in database list.

I am using selenium with PHP.

Details:
Array Names before click
(
[0] => selenium_main_app_window
)
Array Ids before Click
(
[0] => undefined
)

Array Names After click
(
[0] => selenium_main_app_window
)
Array Ids After click
(
[0] => undefined
)E

Update:
I tried opening the url using openWindow(“url”,Windowname) which gets open on click. It worked but it opens a new page doesnt follow the logged in session it asks again for logging in
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

I was am able to do the above by following Steps.

we have
<a target="_restaurant_50" href="/impersonate/50">View Dashboard</a>

use
as=getAttribute(//xpath@href)

openWindow(as,MyWindow);
selectWindow("MyWindow");
windowFocus();

This also works for the dynamic links.

Thanks to ALL for your valuable help.
