Answer 1

You can store the random window ID (generated by Selenium IDE) using ‘storeAttribute’ command. You just need to store the ID in a variable and then you can select the window using ‘selectWindow’ command.

Try using this:

   storeAttribute
   link=Help Center@target
   window_ID



   selectWindow
   ${window_ID}
