python - Testing pages generated via window.showmodaldialog -

i have website generates page via javascript using window.showmodaldialog. when using selenium ide , firefox forced monkeypatch javascript insert new function return value dialog, convert window.showmodaldialog window.open,

driver.execute_script("function setretval(mval) { window.myreturnval = mval;  }") driver.execute_script("window.showmodaldialog = function( surl,varguments, sfeatures) { if(window.myreturnval!=null) { var winarg = window.myreturnval; window.myreturnval = null; return winarg; } modalwin = window.open(surl, varguments, sfeatures); return false; }") 

and modify onbeforeupload send result back.

driver.execute_script("window.onbeforeunload = function() { window.opener.setretval(window.returnvalue); } ") 

i'm trying convert python + selenium webdriver testing purposes. i'd away injecting new javascript during testing. problem

driver.find_element_by_id("maincontent_buttonaccountlookup").click() 

triggers code

<a href="#" id="maincontent_buttonaccountlookup"      onclick="javascript:calllookup(&#39;             account&#39;,&#39;&lt;             %=textboxaccountname.clientid %>&#39;,&#39;&lt;%=hiddenfieldaccountid.clientid %>&#39;)             ;return false;">     <img alt="account lookup" src="../images/search.gif" border="0" /> </a> 

which doesn't release control python script until window closed.

how initiate click can control of new window, steps , close it?

you can switch new window after opened:

current_window = driver.current_window_handle handle in driver.window_handles:     if handle != current_window:         driver.switch_to_window(handle)  // perform actions // close window  driver.switch_to_window(current_window)
