How to record popup windows with selenium IDE

Question

While recording through Selenium IDE, When a pop up window opens it is not getting recorded. \"At the time of executing an error message is displayed.Please help me out.

Answer 1

If that pop up window has name, like opening from javascript window.open(URL, name). Then it is possible to add the command to check the content of the popup. Like following command: waitForPopUp | winId | 30000 selectWindow | winId ... close

However, if the window has no name, like opened from then you are out of luck.
