Working with Pop-up windows in Selenium IDE - Day 5

New windows which open from a link within a website move the actual focus from the frame you are recoding, so it is very important to move back to original website and continue recording.

Let us take an example of a website which has an embedded link, opening a new website.

You can get the code for a sample webpage containing a pop-up window from below link

5.       Selecting the window, you need to work on.
