How do I Go About Handling Popup Windows with eValid?
I know there are a variety of popups, please be as detailed as possible.
Thanks
Great question to ask EdLong.
Popup windows are sometimes part of a website that are intended to generate interest and/or to collect data from the user.
eValid 3.n and 4.n can both record and play pages that generate Popups -- and record and play activity on the Popup windows -- but you need to be careful about how this is done to get the best results.
* Modal Dialog Popups
Both eValid 4 and eValid 3.2 handle modal dialogs very well.
Use the special modal-dialog commands that are located on the Script Dialog box to feed inputs to a modal dialog.
* JavaScript Popups Without Human Input
These normally are separate windows launched from the parent window.
eValid records these as a child of the parent window, and if you simply close the Popup eValid records a WindowClose event.
eValid will also handle child Popups in Application Mode, and the recording will reference the window and the absolution action to take.
* JavaScript Popups with Input
This is a more complex situation, because in many cases the child window communicates with the parent window.
eValid records actions in the Popup child window in normal browser mode, and it will reference actions to the numbered sub-window you're recording from all regular eValid validations.
