How to handle Pop-up in Selenium WebDriver using Java

Question

I wanna handle the sign-in part of www.rediff.com. But the below code doesn't work for me:

driver.get("http://www.rediff.com/");
WebElement sign = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/div[3]/div[3]/span[4]/span/a"));
sign.click();
String myWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
driver.switchTo().window(myWindowHandle);
WebElement email_id= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='signin_info']/a[1]"));
email_id.sendKeys("myEmailID@rediff.com");

If myWindowHandle is not the correct way to handle this popup, then how else can i do it because I can't find the name of the pop-up window.

Answer 1

Actually, its pretty simple. Use this code inside your code when you have to handle any web browser pop-up alert message box.

// Accepts (Click on OK) Chrome Alert Browser for RESET button.

Alert alertOK = driver.switchTo().alert();
alertOK.accept();

//Rejects (Click on Cancel) Chrome Browser Alert for RESET button.

Alert alertCancel = driver.switchTo().alert();
alertCancel.dismiss();
