1 | 0 | I have an issue when trying to test a web application with Selenium/Python. Basically I can't test elements of a pop-up window.
A scenario: I can test all elements for a page. But when I go to click on a button that opens up a small pop up box I can't test the elements on the popup. It's like the pop up isn't in focus... | false | 10,580,772 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | For the Selenium RC API, you need to use the SelectWindow command to switch to the pop-up window. The window can be specified either by its name (as specified on the JavaScript window.open() function) or its title. To switch back to the main window, use SelectWindow(None). | 0 | 7,687 | 0 | 5 | 2012-05-14T09:36:00.000 | python,html,selenium | Selenium: Testing pop-up windows | 1 | 1 | 2 | 10,586,476 | 0 |
0 | 0 | I am trying to make a webform where you can give input as a file or to paste it into textarea. But when the same data arrives to bottle it is different. Data length from the textarea is larger when from file input. Why could this happen? | true | 10,588,730 | 1.2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | I would suspect formatting chars getting inserted on the textarea e.g(newline and carriage returns) might be the issue.
