Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1238

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Selenium Documentation on page 44 and paragraph 5.10. It says Alerts, Popups
and Multiple Windows. But only Alerts and Poputs are covered. There is nothing on Multiple
Windows which is what I needed information about (how to switch focus to another window
that is opened during the execution of a test).


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected information about Multiple Windows but there is none.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

N/A

Please provide any additional information below.

Is there a timeline for this?  I'm not surprised to find this issue, but am surprised
that it is three years old.  I believe I have determined the proper Selenium recommended
technique for handing Multiple Windows (using the PopupWindowFinder class) but it'd
really help newcomers to Selenium if it correctly documented this.

Go to the page on the website, click the link at the top that says "edit this page".
Changes will create a new issue here with the patch file.

I did as instructed and issue 7943 was created.

I've only done prompts.  If someone can offer me more guidance on new windows that
are created, I'd be happy to help there.  It seems the IDE doesn't really do much to
aid in switching contexts or watch the context switching.

I actually was more interested in documenting the Driver API calls which handle waiting
for windows to open or finding windows by properties and then switching to them when
writing tests manually.  In particular, the PopupWindowFinderClass seems not so well
documented but very useful.
