  1. This server jar file does not solve the modal dialog issue.

  2. Is there any other changes that need applying for this new function to work correctly, I've been over and over your previous posts and configured as stated in posts, but cannot get the Return Value to work... please review my post and reply, I'm going insane here trying to figure this hic-cup out! Thanks for all your hard work Amit!

  3. Hi!
    The modified Selenium server handles the return value. This has been tested across various modal dialogs. It would be good if you can share the scenario where this is failing. Is your application on net?

  4. Swift Reply, Thanks!

    I'll post in two parts as to big for one post.

    No sorry App not on the net, my scenario is like so;

    I run though basics entering details to my App, then comes a section where I need to enter details into a Modal (iframe) dialog popup, then click on a submit button to return the values, but this is where Selenium falls over.. It does seem to close the Modal screen but the outer Frame holding the javascript is still visible and will not close even with the /null/ option.

    Snippet of code used:

    selenium.click("//div[@class='searchbuttons']/a/span"); //opens Modal popup

    Thread.sleep(2000);

    selenium.getAllWindowTitles();
    selenium.selectWindow("title=Search Results");
    selenium.click("id=_controlwizardNavControl1");
    // clicks Next button in Modal

    Thread.sleep(2000);

    selenium.getAllWindowTitles();
    selenium.selectWindow("title=Search Results");

    selenium.select("titleCode", "Text");
    selenium.type("addressLine(HNNO)", "Text");
    selenium.type("addressLine(STRN)", "Text");
    selenium.type("addressLine(TOWN)", "Text");
    selenium.click("autosubmit");
    // on submit button is where the issues comes into play...

  5. I can't seem to close the Modal fully and have return values entered back to parent.

    I checked the outher frame to see whats stored there and it mentions the following -

    // Some background on the code below: broadly speaking, where we are relative to other windows
    // when running in proxy injection mode depends on whether we are in a frame set file or not.
    //
    // In regular HTML files, the selenium JavaScript is injected into an iframe called "selenium"
    // in order to reduce its impact on the JavaScript environment (through namespace pollution,
    // etc.). So in regular HTML files, we need to look at the parent of the current window when we want
    // a handle to, e.g., the application window.
    //
    // In frame set files, we can't use an iframe, so we put the JavaScript in the head element and share
    // the window with the frame set. So in this case, we need to look at the current window, not the
    // parent when looking for, e.g., the application window. (TODO: Perhaps I should have just
    // assigned a regular frame for selenium?)

    Other than that I'm not sure if this issue is on my side or something I'm not setting up correctly...

    BTW, I'm using ProxyMode to run my scenarios as I recieve Js errors in IE if I don't.

    If you need more info on this please do let me know, I'm also willing to record my steps and place my video on the interwebs for you to easily view and see whats happening. if that's any use to you?

    basically it seems your code does work fine but is somehow falling over when it come in cantact with a Modal with embedded iframe, but I noticed in your blog thats what this new fix handles.

    Any ideas what is wrong?
    I appreciate you replying and giving this a go, I can use all the help i get at this point.
    Thanks you Amit.

  6. It seems you are missing to click the first button that opened up the modal dialog. To get the modal returned value back on the parent page, we are suppose to click on the same button again which initially has opened the modal window. As this is a workaround we got to go some extra miles to achieve our target. Briefing down:
    Click parent button (say A). Modal Dialog appears.
    Select Modal Dialog.
    Perform Modal operation.
    Click submit to close modal dialog.
    Select parent window.
    (If required move to the same frame where initially we were)
    Click parrent button again. (A)

    Hope this helps you.

  7. Hi Amit,

    I am trying to test a modal dialog using your modified program. I used your workaround(selenium-server.jar) and selenium-java-client-driver.jar(Ver.1.0-beta-1) to test on IE6 and IE7 with the scenario you wrote. The modal dialog can be opened successfully, but it still failed in exchanging values between main window and dialog.

    If it is possible, could you show me a successful sample(including test tools and their version, sample application and test scenario)? So maybe I can know how different with my test environment.

    Thank you in advance,

    Loline

  8. Hi Amit! I'm the poster from September 21, 2010 8:48 AM post above, I'm just replying to let you know your fix worked! I wasn't focusing on the parent screen before looking to click the same button that triggered the modal popup and I had to use selenium.selectWindow(null); first to find the button, also I was in ProxyInjectionmode which I now turned off and it's all working smoothly as can be... Thank you very much Amit for all your hard work! Appreciate it ; )

  11. Hi!

    I have an issue in selecting the modelwindow.

    i have selenium.click("//input[@value='Associate']"); button which will open the model window. After the model window is opened selenium will break down as it is unable to select the window based on its title and pass the further entry in to the window.

    I have tried your modified selenium server.jar. But no luck. Any suggestion would be greatly help ful.

    Thanks in advance

  18. I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's equally educative and interesting, and
    without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy I found this during my search
    for something relating to this.
