I have an application that still uses popup windows over Modals, and we need to test the behavior of some of the popups. In my current stage of research it appears the failure occurs on a waitForPopup call. To confirm this, I made a basic HTML page to throw a popup when a link is clicked (easily simulated with IDE)
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Popup</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" class="click_me" id="click_me" onclick="openwindow();">Click Me</a>
</body>
<script>
function openwindow() {
var i, l, options = [{
value: 'first',
text: 'First'
}, {
value: 'second',
text: 'Second'
}],
newWindow = window.open("", "popup1", "height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
newWindow.document.write("<select onchange='window.opener.setValue(this.value);'>");
for(i=0,l=options.length; i<l; i++) {
newWindow.document.write("<option value='"+options[i].value+"'>");
newWindow.document.write(options[i].text);
newWindow.document.write("</option>");
}
newWindow.document.write("</select>");
}
function setValue(value) {
document.getElementById('value').value = value;
}
</script>
</body>
And the Selenium test case

</head>
<body>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1">

<td>id=click_me</td>

<tr>
<td>waitForPopUp</td>

</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>
This seems to be a common issue, is there a better way to track and assert popup windows?
