Closing a web popup window

adivarup · Post by **adivarup** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 7:27 pm

my script logs me in to my site and posts. After I post I get a pop up, telling me i posted. How can I get the script to click the okay button to close this pop up and continue on with the rest of the script.

Thanks

Does the popup have a Window Title? for instance, this forum has a window title of Macro Scheduler & Windows Automation :: Post a reply*

Take the window title and write somthing like,

setfocus>The Pop-up title goes here* (use the asterisk at the end)
wait>.1
rem> **If the window's OK button is already highlighted***
Press ENTER
waitwindowclosed>The Pop-up title goes here*

You could also substitue whatever keystrokes might activate the OK button for Press ENTER.

Thanks for responding, I've been working on this all day using things i found here but nothing is working..

So, i get a pop-up dialog box.. in the title, it says "Microsoft Internet Explorer" then the dialog says "You have added your post".

So, should I still use what you wrote below?

hmm....if the popup has focus and OK is the only option, you could just use

Press ENTER

and the popup should go away. If the window's name is Microsoft Internet Explorer you should be able to setfocus on it and then press OK. If you have the window open, then you could use View System Windows to see if that button is a windows object which can be manipulated with

Pushbutton>WinowTitle*,ButtonCaption (button caption must be exactly as it is displayed in View System Windows....&OK, or N&ext...whatever it is)...

maybe send me a screen shot of the app.

Hello,

So, the commands I used in the previous post do not seem to work.

I then used the View System Windows tool, and then used this in my script.

What do you mean by "popup". Is it another IE window containing a small web page? Or is it a Javascript dialog box?

If the former you can just record it with WebRecorder as it is just another instance of IE browser. If the latter you can send keystrokes to it.

Can you send a screen shot to show us what you are seeing? Even better, can we access the same URL and run the same script? If so we could fix it for you. Or failing all of that email support and we can hook up to your screen and check it out.

Hi, thanks for your support!

I have two test files that I created... File one is called test.htm and file two is called test2.htm

Test 1 is a blank page with a hyperlink to test2. Test two has javascript on it..

Here are the pages. I do not know how to show you what I am looking at. I can PM you the URL. Here it is the code

Test.htm

Click Here

Here is the code on test2.htm

-->
alert("This is a test popup message")

This should work:

WaitWindowOpen>Microsoft Internet Explorer
SetFocus>Microsoft Internet Explorer
Press Enter

I set up two pages as you suggest and mtettmar's code does close the popup.

Well thats great to hear it works. But it does not work for me. Perhaps there is a security issue with IE and XP?

IE with XP is what I used. PM me the URL if you like and I'll try it.

I have removed your URL that you sent me in the PM.

What might have been the problem is you might have had the WaitWindowOpen ... Press Enter code afdter the WaitIE function. This would cause it to wait forever, since IE is in a busy state WHILE the message box is active. So you need the keysend code immediately after the ClickTag and before the WaitIE code.

You guys make it seem so simple. I tested the new script and it does now work.

Thank you again!! Everyone who worked on this!
