Selenium not able to identify confirm dialog box while testing

During sellenium testing I have a issue where i have a page in which i have a confirmation dialog box. Everything works fine until the time i have confirmation dialog box popped up. I have a delete button on which there is a confirmation popup for which i have to click on yes button.
when selenium tries to identify the confirmation dialog box i get an error message stating:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to find element with xpath == //table[@id='groupActions
']/tbody/tr/td/button[@title='GDelYesButton']


Also i have tried using

Code:

driver.switchTo().alert();

for which i get an error there is no alert active.

It looks like the alert is not windows standard alert box.
This may be a DIV.

Hi,

I am hoping you are trying to accept the conformation dialog by clicking on Yes button.

If that is your case, use below syntax

Code:

Alert alert=driver.switchTo().alert();
// to get the text of alert message use alert.getText();
alert.accept(); //which clicks Yes or accepts this dialog
alert.dismiss(); //if you dont want to accept the terms.

I hope the above helps.

Thanks,
Uday

Try to search the element using class as a id

I think you may use the Autoit .exe for this situation
to handle this alert try to use Autoit.exe script.
