Selenium IDE:Opening in new tab and shift focus to new tab not working

i have stuck in one point in selenium ide

the scenario is like this

Login-----

go to dashboard page---------

mouse over any menu on the top navigational bar----

on mouseover sub menu will appear as drop down--

now click any link from the drop down --

after clicking link will open in new tab

now from that point on-wards we have to shift our focus to that new tab because rest of the testing will be done on that new tab.

The code i have written is given below

     <tr>
    <td>open</td>
    <td>/magma/dev/</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>name=user_id</td>
    <td>abcd</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>name=pass</td>
    <td>1234</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>id=btnLogin</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>Costing List</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>Fuel</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>mouseOver</td>
    <td>//div[@id='smoothmenu1']/ul/li[3]</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>click</td>
    <td>link=Fuel Cost</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>selectWindow</td>
    <td>http://10.0.1.101/magma/dev/fuelcost/</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>Manage Fuel Cost</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>link=Logout</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

This code is working correctly upto clicking the sub menu from the dropdown after that it is not working and a error is showing in the log

so when ever i am trying to run that test case it is showing error

[warn] Link has target '_blank', which is not supported in Selenium! Randomizing target to be: selenium_blank84419

can any one please help me to write the code properly

The following code works for me:

<tr>
    <td>storeEval</td>
    <td>selenium.getAllWindowNames()[1]</td>
    <td>windowName</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>getEval</td>
    <td>this.doEcho("array length: "+selenium.getAllWindowNames().length);this.doEcho("Available window names: "+selenium.getAllWindowNames());this.doEcho("Selecting window: "+storedVars['windowName']);</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>selectWindow</td>
    <td>${windowName}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

I hope it will help others who face a similar type of problem

use selectPopUp, but not storeEval and selectWindow, both of them are too complicated.

selectPopUp:

Arguments: windowID - an identifier for the popup window, which can take on a number of different meanings
Simplifies the process of selecting a popup window (and does not offer functionality beyond what selectWindow() already provides).
- If windowID is either not specified, or specified as "null", the first non-top window is selected. The top window is the one that would be selected by selectWindow() without providing a windowID . This should not be used when more than one popup window is in play.
- Otherwise, the window will be looked up considering windowID as the following in order: 1) the "name" of the window, as specified to window.open(); 2) a javascript variable which is a reference to a window; and 3) the title of the window. This is the same ordered lookup performed by selectWindow .

The code below ( selenium script, I copied from the selenium IDE ) indicates the action of:

1.click a 'edit' link

2.wait for 2 seconds ( waiting for the new window opened)

3.focus on the new window

<tr>
    <td>click</td>
    <td>link=edit</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>2000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>selectPopUp</td>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td>selectWindow</td>
    <td>http://10.0.1.101/magma/dev/fuelcost/</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

Replace <td>http://10.0.1.101/magma/dev/fuelcost/</td> with window ID or window title or window name

Try with option selectWindow() Just provide the window title name withing (). For Ex: Window Title is Testing, then command : selectWindow title : Testing

To know the title of the newly opened window follow the steps: Go to the new window Right click->view page source Press ctrl+F. Type title and serch. You will get the title of the new window

I hope this helps someone out there! It worked well for me. You do still get the warning in the log, but the test works.

Please add waitForPopUp and selectPopUp event after clicking the new tab event. It's worked for me.

I am using the following and it works for me, hope it helps! :)

storeEval | this.browserbot.findElement('link=link name').href |    myUrl | 
open | ${myUrl}

I use storeAttribute incombination with open.

I use it like this:

As an alternative, it's possible to remove the target attribute from the link before clicking it. Here's the code to remove all target attributes from all links on the current page:

<tr>
    <td>runScript</td>
    <td>Array.from(document.links).forEach(function(link){link.removeAttribute('target')})</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
