Test script cannot find Alert boxes

Robert



We believe we have found the solution.  The issue appears to have been twofold: IE8 & IE9 opened the alert window in a new process, so our alias to iexplore didn't find the proper process, and the caption for the window was different in IE6 than it was in IE8/9.  The following code appears to resolve both problems:

     var caption

     if (getBrowserVersion() == 6) {

          caption = "Microsoft Internet Explorer";

     } else if (getBrowserVersion() == 8) {

          vcaption = "Message from webpage";

     }

     var dlg = Sys.Find(["WndClass", "WndCaption"], ["#32770", caption], 10);

     Delay(500);

     var btn = dlg.Find(["WndClass", "WndCaption"], ["Button", "OK"], 5);

     btn.Click();

Where getBrowserVersion is defined as:

// The purpose of this function is to determine the version of the browser

// to be used when opening up a dialog box.

// Valid return values will be either 6, 8 or 9.  0 will be returned for an unidentified version

function getBrowserVersion()

{

 

  var verstring = aqString.substring(Aliases.iexplore.FileVersionInfo, 0, 1);

 


  if (verstring == "9") {

    return 9;

  } else if (verstring == "8") {

    return 8;

  }

  else if (verstring == "6") {

    return 6;

  } 

  else {

    return 0;

  }  




Thanks for your help,
