Selenium - How to select window if window do not have title or name

Selecting new opened window using "selectWindow" command in selenium IDE is very easy if new window has title or name. Click here to view example of "selectWindow" command with title as a target. If window has title then we can add it's title in target field with "selectWindow" command and this way selenium

can identify window. But how to handle window which has not any title? Let we consider one scenario for such case. Supposing I am clicking on hyper link and opening new window. New window has not any title and I want to select that window to perform some actions on newly opened window using selenium IDE. How can I do it?

"storeAttribute" command will help us to handle this scenario. look at bellow given example.

(Note : Please set Block Pop-up windows = false before running this test case case. Otherwise bellow given script will not run properly.)

Example of how to handle window without title or name or id in selenium

New Test
Command	Target	Value
open	http://only-testing-blog.blogspot.com/2013/09/testing.html
click	link=Visit MyTest Page
storeAttribute	link=Visit MyTest Page@target	window1
selectWindow	${window1}
waitForElementPresent	name=fname
pause	2000
highlight	name=fname
type	name=fname	1st time visit of window1
selectWindow	null
click	link=Visit Testing Page
storeAttribute	link=Visit Testing Page@target	window2
selectWindow	${window2}
waitForElementPresent	name=vehicle
pause	2000
highlight	name=vehicle
click	name=vehicle
selectWindow	${window1}
pause	2000
highlight	name=fname
type	name=fname	2nd time visit of window1
pause	2000
selectWindow	${window2}
pause	2000
highlight	name=gender
click	name=gender
selectWindow	${window1}
close
selectWindow	${window2}
close

Above script is very long so full script description is very lengthy. Let me tell you main commands. 1st of all, i have not used window title or name id to select window. So please consider that new window has not any title or name. I have used ${window1} and ${window2} to select newly opened windows.${window1} and ${window2} are derived from "storeAttribute" command and this way every time, selenium will find targeted window.
