Handle web-based popups

Question

There are pop-ups that disturb the script I wrote to automate a task using selenium. Are there ways to handle these pop-ups? I am new to selenium and have just started working with it. Can someone help?

Answer 1

This happens with me also. I did find the solution though.

There are four methods of the effective Web-based pop-up handling:

• string getText() method returns the text displayed on the alert box
• void accept() method clicks on the “Ok” button as soon as the pop-up window appears
• void dismiss() method clicks on the “Cancel” button as soon as the pop-up window appears
• void sendKeys(String stringToSend) method enters the specified string pattern into the alert box

Hope it helps.
