Use chooseOkOnNextConfirmation   to dismiss the alert and getAlert   to verify that it has been shown  and optionally grab its text for verification    selenium chooseOkOnNextConfirmation        prepares Selenium to handle next alert selenium click locator   String alertText   selenium getAlert       verifies that alert was shown assertEquals  This is a popup window   alertText

For selenium  an alert is the one which raised using javascript e g    javascript alert      There is one basic check to verify whether your alert is actually a javascript alert or just a div-based box for displaying some message   If its a javascript alert  you wont be able to see it on screen while running the selenium script   If you are able to see it  then you need to get the locator of the ok button of the alert and use selenium click locator  to dismiss the alert  Can help you better if you can provide more context     IDE or RC   HTML code of the alert  your selenium script    Vamyip

You might look into chooseOkOnNextConfirmation  although that should probably be the default behavior if I read the docs correctly

This is an answer from 2012  the question if from 2009  but people still look at it and there s only one correct  use WebDriver  and one almost useful  but not good enough  answer     If you re using Selenium RC and can actually see an alert dialog  then it can t be done  Selenium should handle it for you  But  as stated in Selenium documentation      Selenium tries to conceal those dialogs from you  by replacing   window alert  window confirm and window prompt  so they won   t stop the   execution of your page  If you   re seeing an alert pop-up  it   s   probably because it fired during the page load process  which is   usually too early for us to protect the page    It is a known limitation of Selenium RC  and  therefore  Selenium IDE  too  and one of the reasons why Selenium 2  WebDriver  was developed  If you want to handle onload JS alerts  you need to use WebDriver alert handling   That said  you can use Robot or selenium keyPressNative   to fill in any text and press Enter and confirm the dialog blindly  It s not the cleanest way  but it could work  You won t be able to get the alert message  however   Robot has all the useful keys mapped to constants  so that will be easy  With keyPressNative    you want to use 10 as value for pressing Enter or 27 for Esc since it works with ASCII codes

assertAlert ought to do the trick  I see in the docs that alerts generated in a page s OnLoad event handler cannot be scripted this way  and have experienced it myself  alas  due to the ASP NET page lifecycle   Could that be what you re running into

Try Selenium 2 0b1  It has different core than the first version  It should support popup dialogs according to documentation   Popup Dialogs  Starting with Selenium 2 0 beta 1  there is built in support for handling popup dialog boxes  After you   ve triggered and action that would open a popup  you can access the alert with the following   Java  Alert alert   driver switchTo   alert      Ruby  driver switch to alert   This will return the currently open alert object  With this object you can now accept  dismiss  read it   s contents or even type into a prompt  This interface works equally well on alerts  confirms  prompts  Refer to the JavaDocs for more information

about Selenium IDE  I am not an expert but you have to add the line  quot choose ok on next confirmation quot  before the event which trigger the alert confirm dialog box as you can see into this screenshot

The question isn t clear - is this for an alert on page load  You shouldn t see any alert dialogues when using Selenium  as it replaces alert   with its own version which just captures the message given for verification   Selenium doesn t support alert   on page load  as it needs to patch the function in the window under test with its own version   If you can t get rid of onload alerts from the application under test  you should look into using GUI automation to click the popups which are generated  e g  AutoIT if you re on Windows

If you using selenium IDE then you have to click on Ok button manually because when alert message command run that time browser stop working and if you want to click on ok button automatically then you have to use selenium RC or webdriver and below command is for Selenium IDE  In selenium ide use storeeval command  different type of boxes      storeEval   alert  This is alert box                                   storeEval   prompt  This is prompt box  Please enter the value     text     storeEval   confirm  this is cofirm box

This is Pythoncode   Problem with alert boxes  especially sweet-alerts is that they have a   delay and Selenium is pretty much too fast    An Option that worked for me is   while True      try          driver find element by xpath    div  class  sweet-alert showSweetAlert visible             break     except          wait   WebDriverWait driver  1000   confirm button   driver find element by xpath    button  class  confirm     confirm button click

The new Selenium IDE  released in 2019  has a much broader API and new documentation    I believe this is the command you ll want to try   webdriver choose ok on visible confirmation  Described at   https   www seleniumhq org selenium-ide docs en api commands  webdriver-choose-ok-on-visible-confirmation  There are other alert-related API calls  just search that page for alert
