WaitForAlert  
Wait for alert

Description

Retrieves the message of a JavaScript alert generated during the previous action, or fail if there were no alerts.

Under Selenium, JavaScript alerts will NOT pop up a visible alert dialog.

Selenium does NOT support JavaScript alerts that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks OK.

Properties

Property name Property Description
condition(optional) (since version 0.0.4) Gets the result of evaluating the specified JavaScript snippet. Note that, by default, the snippet will run in the context of the "selenium" object itself, so this will refer to the Selenium object. Use window to refer to the window of your application, e.g. window.document.getElementById('foo'). If you need to use a locator to refer to a single element in your application page, you can use this.browserbot.findElement("id=foo") where "id=foo" is your locator. The result of the snipped should be true, 1, false or 0. When it is true or 1 the command will be executed, when it is false or 0 the command will be skipped and the test continues.
timeoutTime to wait for the alert message to display
