Contol over PopUp not having enable IE developer tool

[mukesh rawat]

Hi,
My application runs on IE, in my application when i select a specific
radio button then a popup window is opened. But, the popup window
opened is not having right click enabled and any type of IE developer
tool.
How can i have control over the popup window and able to find the
element properties.

Thanks,
Mukesh

A popup is not a web page.

Seee the online documentation for how to handle popup dialogs - here for example: http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html

What is creating the pop-up window?  Is it done via JavaScript or what?

If the pop-up window is HTML then you simply need to switch to it and you should have access to the HTML elements in that window, assuming it is an HTML window and not something created by a Java Applet (for example).

If you shared the HTML code around that radio button it might help us help you.

As OP mentioned, then it must be generated by the page/site via JS,
etc. Because standard browser popups only have text, titlebard, and
some buttons (OK/Cancel/Yes/No).

The problem for the OP as I can see is not necessarily about switching
to the popup and work with it in WebDriver. OP is developing/debugging
test in/for IE, and as such can't inspect elements in that popup using
IE tools (no Firebug) because I guess some developer decided to
disallow right-click context menu mouse option. Which is often used to
view source or inspect elements, etc.

For the OP, I suggest you look at a tool called DebugBar for IE. I
prefer it over the IE developer toolbar. Similar features but less
slow/buggy than using the native IE one. And you can inspect elements
by dragging the inspector icon on the toolbar to the element of
interest, which means you don't need right-click ability.

So far as I can tell, the OP tells us nothing concrete about the site and/or he is testing, other than it has no view source, so seems not to be a web page simulating a popup (if that is possible), which presume is only possible as an overlay type screen. I can't believe a developer would disallow right-click specifically on such a "popup" if he didn't disallow it on the main page (if that is possible), which the OP implies he can see, and this would be pointless anyway because the source code for the "popup" would necessaily be on the main page, so could still be seen from there.
 
We can't infer anything without more clear information to go on, and the OP needs to verify that it is not just a standard popup that he can handle as first directed.

Some workaround:

1. Try to get direct url for pop-up (from link or button with js etc.) and navigate to this url from browser

2. Try press F12

3. Try to switch WebDriver to pop-up and get html source with getPageSource()
