Hi,

I am currently doing a web-testing using Selenium core, right now I am focuing on the automation testing in IE but I have troubles that I need help with.

When I am trying to tell Selenium to "waitforpopup" the following error message appears.

____________________________________________________________                                      
                      ! An error has occurred in the script on this page.
                                                                         
                                                                         
Line:  1100                                                              
Char:  9                                                                  
Error: 'pathname' is null or not an object                                
Code:  0                                                                  
URL: http://                                                              
                                                                         
                                                                         
                                                                         
                 Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?  
                                                                         
                                  |Yes|  |No|                            
                                                                         
____________________________________________________________

Part of the HTML code is posted as following:

<tr>
        <td>click</td>
        <td>xpath=//td[@id='addWidgetBtncenter']</td>
        <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td>waitForPopUp</td>
        <td></td>
        <td>30000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td>selectFrame</td>
        <td>relative=up</td>
        <td></td>
</tr>



Where the first step is to click on a "addwidget button" (for the webpage that i am testing), it will launch a popup-window

So, I have used "waitforpopup" command then "selectFrame" or "selectpopup", but none of them worked in IE.


I always run into an issue when I need to wait for a new window that pops up, can anyone please help me with this issue??

Greatly appreciated...

Based on the error, I think - there is a problem with xpath. Could you double check the xPath?

thanks.
