How to handle dialog box through selenium with python?

Question

Hi,

I am new in Selenium automation. Could you please explain me how to use this (if one exists) tag? It would be really helpful if you can give example.

The scenario where I am facing problem is: there is a save button, if we click on it a dialog box pops up. I need to enter some text in two text boxes and press save/cancel button on the same dialog. I am using Selenium as a tool and Python as a scripting language. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

sel.click("idOfSaveButton")
sel.wait_for_pop_up("popupWindowName", "30000")
sel.select_window("name=popupWindowName")
sel.type("idOfTextBox1", "someText")
sel.type("idOfTextBox2", "someText")
sel.click("idOfCloseButton")
sel.select_window("null")

You can also select the popup window using title=.
