I have a link on the page.
<a href="javascript:nd();popupConfigDialog('');">Monitor Groups</a>

Click the link would call the following js method.
function popupConfigDialog(link, width, height) {
if (link.indexOf("/support") != -1) {
popupFull(link, "support", width, height, true, false, true, false);
} else {
popupDialog(link, "TopLevelConfiguration", window, width,
height, true, true);
}
}

The abve js method would call another js method in a jsp file to form
a new window.
function popupDialog(param_href, name, arg, param_width, param_height,
param_hasScroll, param_resize)
{
......
dialogBlock = new StringBuffer();
dialogBlock.append('<html><head><script src="/dialogs.jsp" type="text/
javascript"></script><script src="/dragging.jsp" type="text/
javascript"></script></head>');
dialogBlock.append('<body style="margin: 5px 0 0 0;');
dialogBlock.append('background-image: url(/images/
HeaderDialogLine.gif);');
dialogBlock.append('background-repeat: repeat-x; overflow: hidden;"
onmousedown="beginDrag(event);" onmouseup="endDrag()">');
dialogBlock.append('<div id="');
dialogBlock.append(DIALOG_FRAME_TITLE_DIV_NAME + dialogNumber +
'">');
dialogBlock.append('<img onclick="closeDialog();" ');
dialogBlock.append(' onmouseover="highlightCloseIcon(this, true)"
onmouseout="highlightCloseIcon(this, false)" ');
dialogBlock.append('style="z-index:10003; float:right; margin-right:
10px; padding-top: 0px; cursor: pointer;" src="/images/x-off.gif" ');
dialogBlock.append('title="<
%=rb_core.getString("CLICK_TO_CLOSE_DIALOG")%>"/>');
dialogBlock.append('<span style="color: #000000; font-family:
verdana; font-size: 0.9em; font-weight: bold; ');
dialogBlock.append('padding-left: 5px" id="');
dialogBlock.append(DIALOG_FRAME_TITLE_NAME + dialogNumber);
dialogBlock.append('"></span>');
dialogBlock.append('</div></body></html>');

//create resizable dialog
ResizableContainer.init(insertToWindow, dialogNumber, width, height);
.....
}

Now I use web driver and the window can be opened but I can't get the
element in the new opened window.

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Monitor Groups")).click(); //Click
the link
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {

System.out.println(driver.getWindowHandles().size()); //
I get the size is 1

System.out.println(driver.switchTo().window(handle).getTitle()); //
The tile is previous page's.

driver.findElement(By.id("newMonitorGroup")); //
Find element in the new window but an exception would happen.
}

The exception says Unable to locate element:
{"method":"id","selector":"newMonitorGroup"}

Please give me some guidance, thanks very much.

You need to wait for the new window to appear, try this:

final Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles();

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Monitor Groups")).click(); 

// It wasn't waiting for the popup to be loaded... bug in webdriver maybe? I'll have to ask....
String newWindow = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<String>() {
public String apply(WebDriver input) {
Set<String> newHandles = input.getWindowHandles();
newHandles.removeAll(handles);
if (newHandles.size() > 0) {
return newHandles.iterator().next();
}
return null;
}
});

driver.switchTo().window(newWindow);

// wait for the element to appear
WebElement element = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<WebElement>() {
public WebElement apply(WebDriver input) {
return input.findElement(By.id("newMonitorGroup"));
}
});


This assumes that clicking the link will actually open a popup (new window) and that new window will have an ID "newMonitorGroup" inside of it.

Hi Luke, thanks for your solution and it works for me.

Furthermore, under some edge condition, the found handle of new window will be empty, so I add below protections based on your solution.

final Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles();

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Monitor Groups")).click(); 

// It wasn't waiting for the popup to be loaded... bug in webdriver maybe? I'll have to ask....
String newWindow = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<String>() {
public String apply(WebDriver input) {
Set<String> newHandles = input.getWindowHandles();
newHandles.removeAll(handles);
if (newHandles.size() > 0) {
                                if(!"".equals(tmpHandle)) {
    return newHandles.iterator().next();
    }
}
return null;
}
});

driver.switchTo().window(newWindow);
