What methods have people come up with to match a Page object to its BrowserWindow?  Both items are at the same level, as children of the Browser object.  A quick idea I had was checking for the "Focus...

    I contacted support as I was curious if they had a solution. This is their reply:



    ----------------------------

    [JScript]

     

    function getBrowserWindowByPage(page)

    {

      if (page != null && aqString.Compare(page.ObjectType,"Page",false) == 0)

      {

        var title = page.contentDocument.title;

        var wnd = page.Parent.FindChild("WndCaption", title + "*");

        if (wnd.Exists)

          return wnd;

      }

      return null;  

    }

     

    function main()

    {

      var browserWindowFF = getBrowserWindowByPage(Sys.Browser("firefox").Page("http://smartbear.com/"));

      var browserWindowChrome = getBrowserWindowByPage(Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("http://smartbear.com/"));

      var browserWindowIE = getBrowserWindowByPage(Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://smartbear.com/"));

    }

     

    The getBrowserWindowByPage function works across all browsers. I've tested it with the Firefox v.24, Chrome v.30, and IE v.10 browsers.

    ----------------------------



    The key must be "page.contentDocument.title" which must always match up to "WndCaption" on the browser window objects. Hopefully that is it!



    I've still asked them to add it as a build-in feature.
