Dialogs

Not all test steps play out directly inside the browser. Web pages can display popup dialog windows in the form of alerts, confirmations, and other browser instances.
Test Studio allows you to track and respond to dialog windows and can handle HTML popups and Win32 dialogs.
An HTML popup is a new browser window that is detected automatically. Test Studio will prompt you to automate the popup.
A Win32 dialog is not a browser window, but a dialog displayed by the Windows operating system.
Test Studio typically inserts the appropriate handler into your test automatically when recording against a dialog. You can also insert a dialog handler manually, however.
