Locate an alert window

[canberrasnag]

if I type in bad text in a form field, an alert appears when I click submit.

Anyone have any idea how to find that alert window so that I can click OK

using WSH VBScript

Thanks

Hello canerrasnag,

If you use script to automate navigating and filling forms, you have to avoid alert/confirm/prompt types user interactive. They are not stand-ready for being referenced within the script---at least [blue]I'm not aware of any method to get to them[/blue]. The reason is again related to the security and user's privacy.

In order to get away with them, you may have to remove and add back your own eventlistner.

May be some other may give you a positive and direct handle of them. I'm also interested in knowing.

canberrasnag,

The alert box will show up as a top level window. The problem I can see if it is modal for windows platform. Not to mention findwindow is not immediately available for scripting, though you know if there is a will there is a way, how the flow of logic in the script adapt to this situation is not clear to me. Somebody might know better. I'm all ear.
