    hi Roshy,

    Are you using Sahi v35?
    me too having issues with child browser. For me sahi works individually on parent and child windows, but when I combine scripts (click from parent , open child and verify child objects) sahi controller gets stuck and shows time out.

    some body pls help !

    Hi Roshi and Zeren,

    Please create separate posts for each of you (unless you are from the same team).
    It helps us follow and address the issue better.

    Give us clear reproduction steps, with sample code. Both your cases work in normal circumstances.

    hi, to capture events from child window ..

    1. U stop and close the sahi controller
    2. Reopen the sahi controller with the same script name as previous but by pressing the Alt + double click on the child window ...only then u can be able do actions on child window.

    hope this is the answer if i hav got the question correctly..

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response!!!

    Problem resolved to get the object properties on Child Browser window. Which helped to generate script.

    But, Script is not running successfully, As It's not recognizing Child browser window objects while run time. As it's not worked with even _popup("/.*/")._click(_link("XXX")); script as well.

    Please do let me know If you have any workaround on this.

    Thanks,
    Roshi

    Hi Roshi,

    _popup("/.*/")._click(_link("XXX")); This will not work because in _popup("popWin"), "popWin" will be stored on the parent window from where the popup was been launched.It wont understand if you mention the popup id in regular expression.

    You can use regular expression when the popup id's are changing.

    You will have to use it as:

    _popup("popWin")._click(_link("XXX"));
