Ranorex Forum

Hi, I have a difficulties in finding element OK button on Alert in Firefox. I tried shift+Lwin but cannot work and am new on this. Please assist. Thanks.

Eg.

1) Go to google and find "w3schools javascript alert example" (P/S: Not able to post the sample URL in this forum)
2) Select the first link "JavaScript Popup Boxes - W3Schools"
3) Click Try it yourself under the Example
4) Click on Try It button
5) Using Ranorex spy to find the OK button

Hello samantha.chin,

That issue is known and we are currently working on a solution.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, it is possible to navigate to the corresponding dialog elements using Ranorex Spy. These elements can be found within the Firefox form element.
Please let me know if the workaround solved the issue.

Regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

Thanks and it worked! Appreciate your guidance.

Hello,

There is another way to record/track such dialogues in Firefox.

Please carry out the following steps to change the corresponding Firefox setting:
1) Open Firefox
2) Navigate to "about:config" (enter it in the address bar)
3) Search for "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" and change the value to "false"

Consequently, the modal dialog will be identified as a separate form and not as part of the UI structure of the browser. Note that the previously created path will no longer work after changing this setting.
Regards,
Johannes
