How to handle browser pop up window?

Help
1

Hi
I am having trouble dealing with browser popups.
I have to click on a link, which opens up a browser popup window for data entry(form). I need to fill in the form and submit it. If there is any material or video or if someone can share the steps, greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

  • Use attach browser, indicate the browser pop up window, specify the browser type.
  • Inside attach browser, Use type into activity to fill data and click activity to submit.

Thanks Vivek. I did the same, somehow not able to having it run. It fails in finding the textarea element of the popup window. I mean somehow the popup window is not getting recognized.
Anything else i may be doing wrong?

If you have the URL, you won’t need to detect the POP anyway

The only time this won’t help is when for some reason you don’t know/see the URL itself in a popup

Yes attach browser fails with some error. So i used attached window. I believe the selectors are not helping.

Thanks and I tried that as well. I shall try once more.

if the selectors are correct, the Type into with simulate should work

Same problem ,i am facing as well .there is a javascript prompt popup alert ,where i need to pass a value and click ‘OK’ in side that. while recording UIpath tool is not identifying the popup.

Later tried manually to identify UIElement with " indicate element on screen " that covers only the browser but not able to click the popup ,again i clicked F2 and tried to find popup element ,still the indicator of UIpath points towards only the browser not the popup.
