Transfer the focus on pop up

how can i transfer the focus to the newly opened pop up

i have used selectwindow but its not working there..

please help me out of the problem.

THANKS

I will repost this for you again:

It sounds like your new window does not have an ID. When this happens, Selenium is creating a random name for that window. What does storeAllWindowNames return?
try:

storeAllWindowNames | windowNames
echo | ${windowNames}

storeAllWindowIds | windowIds
echo | ${windowIds}

storeAllWindowTitles | windowtitles
echo | ${windowtitles}

These are 3 different options to get the identifiers for this window. I believe these will store this in an array. Then you should be able to take the window's identifier as a variable from that array and select it. I've never done this before, but let me know what you get from these 3 echo commands.

i have used these commands its giving me window name like selenium_911234 but i m talking about pop up not window....OR both r same??????

That IS the pop-up window. You are getting something back by doing these commands. Since it doesn't have a static defined id associated to it, you will need to store whatever Selenium gives you. Like I said, use the window's identifier as a variable and select it.

try:

storeAllWindowNames | windowName
selectWindow | ${windowName}

will u please open icicilombard.com & go to chat button on the top of homepage... then fill ur details & then run with rc server,,,,, and then let me knw that u r able to take the focus on the chat window or not.......

Code:

public void testPopUp() throws Exception {
      selenium.open("/");
      selenium.click("css=html");
      selenium.click("//img[@alt='Live Chat']");
      selenium.waitForPopUp("chat", "30000");
      selenium.selectWindow("title=Chat Window");
      Thread.sleep(1000);
      selenium.type("id=q1", "john");
   }

This works fine in Selenium IDE(This is posted in the IDE section of the forum). I don't use Selenium RC, but here is the code in JUnit4/RC if you want to give it a shot

i m also able to do it in selenium ide but in rc select window is not working... n focus is not going to the new popup.....bdw thanks for ur efforts

Put in a pause before doing anything on the window. In the example you gave me, the pop-up does have a name and a title. In the examples you showed before this was not the case. If the pop up does not have a defined name/id you will need to use the window handles.

I would post/search in the RC forum if you can't figure it out since this is the IDE forum.

Try with option
selectWindow()
Just provide the window title name withing ().
For Ex:
Window Title is Testing, then
command : selectWindow
title : Testing 

To know the title of the newly opened window follow the steps:
Go to the new window
Right click->view page source
Press ctrl+F.
Type title and serch.
You will get the title of the new window

Selenium IDE is a firefox plugin.
Firefox blocks the newly opening windows/tabs when you replay the scripts recorded in selenium IDE.
You should change the firefox settings to allow opening of new windows/tabs.
Hope this helps.

Thanks.
