1. find the <a> in question
2. remove the attribute “target” from the <a>
3. copy the href destination in a variable (myUrl)
4. modify the href->javascript:window.open(myUrl,’myWindow’)
5. click on <a>
6. select window ‘myWindow’


getEval | this.page().findElement('link=click here').removeAttribute('target')||
storeEval | this.page().findElement('link=click here').href | myUrl
getEval | this.page().findElement('link=click here').href="javascript:window.open('${myUrl}','myWindow')" ||
click | link=click here ||
pause | 1000 ||
selectWindow | name=myWindow ||

Selenium should be able to handle alert windows like "Do you want to delete the record? [Yes] [No]" or "Enter a valid date [OK]" by intercepting them, so that they do not pop-up when you run your script. Unfortunately this does not always work in my experience. I do not know of any straightforward solution for the case when you actually see such pop-ups while executing the test.

I mean for that user don't have to click on any link. It's like performing any action in application - so it gives popup according it's functionality. Hello
