HOW TO HANDLE LOOKUP(NEW WINDOW ) IN SELENIUM

HI,
I got a issue whille selecting an element from lookup (new window).I tried to the window title but unable to retrieve the window tile(using get window handls method)

try

dr1.switchTo().window("popupwindow");
("popupwindow" is the window name)
or

for (String handle : dr1.getWindowHandles()) {
dr1.switchTo().window(handle);
}

i tried in both ways but iam unable to switch to new window .is there any other method other these two

Hi

I believe you are trying this in either Selenium RC or webdriver

because either of this should work

I think you should try with some other example than with the one you are trying currently

give a try

import junit.framework.Assert;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;


public class PopupWindow {

public static void main(String[] args){

WebDriver dr1=new FirefoxDriver();
dr1.get("http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk");
WebElement linkChapter1=dr1.findElement(By.linkText("Chapter1"));
linkChapter1.click();
System.out.println(dr1.getTitle());
WebElement multipleWindowLink = dr1.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='multiplewindow']"));
multipleWindowLink.click();

// Accessing the window by window Name
http://dr1.switchTo().window("popupwindow");

// alternate method to access the popup window if the window name is not known
for (String handle : dr1.getWindowHandles()) {
dr1.switchTo().window(handle);
}
Assert.assertEquals(dr1.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='popuptext']")).getText(), "Text within the pop up window");

WebElement popupWindowClose = dr1.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='closepopup']"));
popupWindowClose.click();
for (String handle : dr1.getWindowHandles()) {
dr1.switchTo().window(handle);
}
System.out.println(dr1.getTitle());
dr1.quit();
}

}

hope viewing this link would find a perfect solution for you.
