Test for Alert Popup

[David]

Is there a way to use jasmine to test for the popup of an alert/
confirm message. Currently my javascript funciton adds an onclick
event, to certain anchor tags with a specified class, to display a
confirm popup message. How do I use Jasmine to test that
functionality?

THanks

You should be able to spyOn(window, "confirm") or spyOn(window,
"alert"). Make sure your spy is set up before the alert/confirm
behavior gets invoked.

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I just set up the spy,
but I am not sure how to mimic a click with javascript. I have tried:

anchor1 = document.getElementById("new");

a) anchor1.click();
b) anchor1.fireEvent("onclick");
c) anchor1.trigger("onclick");

these all give me errors with the Jasmine Test Runner.
