user1579906. A comment was left in the other question where you
asked this explaining that this would happen with Selenium IDE
and Javascript Alerts. Is this different? –  Lyndon Vrooman Aug

user1579906 Aug 13 '13 at 15:35 add comment  1 Answer  The
problem is that this button and alert is generate in an iFrame.
Selenium handles iFrame as a sort of window, you first need to
select it to interact with it.  Try these steps to verify it
does indeed work:   Result is an message in the IDE console:
[error] Error: There was an unexpected Alert! [Hello How are
you?]  Also read this about handling javascript alerts with the
Selenium IDE: http://s
