We are running Selenium regression tests against our existing code base, and certain screens in our web app use pop-ups for intermediate steps.

Currently we use the commands in the test:

// force new window to open at this point - so we can select it later selenium().getEval('this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().open('', 'enquiryPopup')'); selenium().click('//input[@value='Submit']'); selenium().waitForPopUp('enquiryPopup', getWaitTime()); selenium().selectWindow('enquiryPopup');

…which works most of the time. Occasionally the test will fail on the waitForPopUp() line with 

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: Permission denied

Can anyone suggest a better, more reliable method?

Also, we primarily run these tests on IE6 and 7.

  1. It works!! Just to make it easier for the folks who prefer selenese.

    This worked for me using IE7(normal mode).

    What a freaking hassle. Thank the spaghetti monster in the sky for SO or there is no way I would have got this working in IE.

    <tr>     <td>getEval</td>     <td>selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().open('', 'windowName');</td>     <td></td> </tr> <tr>     <td>click</td>     <td>buttonName</td>     <td></td> </tr> <tr>     <td>windowFocus</td>     <td>windowName</td>     <td></td> </tr> <tr>     <td>waitForPopUp</td>     <td>windowName</td>     <td>3000</td> </tr> <tr>     <td>selectWindow</td>     <td>windowName</td>     <td></td> </tr>
