"selectPopUp" command

"selectPopUp" command works same as "selectWindow" command. Sometimes when you click on link then it is opening new window popup. If you want to perform some actions on new opened popup window then you need to select that popup first then and then you can perform any action on new window. In such

conditions, you can use "selectPopUp" command. Window ID or title is required as a target with "selectPopUp" command.

"deselectPopUp" command

opposite to "selectPopUp" command, "deselectPopUp" command will remove selection from popup window and will select main window. Do not required Window ID or Name as a target with "deselectPopUp" command. Let we see both commands with example.

New Test
Command	Target	Value
open	http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_a_target
verifyTextPresent	Open link in a new window or tab
click	link=Visit W3Schools!
pause	2000
selectPopUp	W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
waitForTextPresent	Learn to Create Websites
verifyTextPresent	Learn to Create Websites
deselectPopUp
verifyTextPresent	Open link in a new window or tab
verifyTextPresent	Learn to Create Websites
selectPopUp	W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
verifyTextPresent	Learn to Create Websites

In above example, "click" command will click on link and open new window which has title = 'W3Schools Online Web Tutorials'. Now "selectPopUp" command will select new opened window with title = 'W3Schools Online Web Tutorials'. Next 2 commands ("waitForTextPresent" and "verifyTextPresent") will be executed on new opened window.

"deselectPopUp" command will remove selection from newly opened popup window and will select main window. Next 2 commands ("verifyTextPresent") will be executed on main window but 2nd "verifyTextPresent" command will return false because there is not such text ('Learn to Create Websites') present on main window page. Next command "selectPopUp" will once again select popup and then "verifyTextPresent" command will check for text 'Learn to Create Websites' on popup window and it will becomes pass because targeted text is present on popup window.
