verifyNoDialogs should be used in conjunction with expectDialog or 
expectDialogs.
I couldn't see one in your test after a quick scan. Because the test is 
automated,
you provide ahead of time an expected user response so that for complicated 
dialogs
you can test out various behaviours, e.g. hitting the OK vs the Cancel button.
For your simple dialog, there isn't a wide range of behaviours available but
you still need to provide the expectation. For more details, check out:

http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/expectDialog.html

The expectation is simply placed before the action which will fire off
the JavaScript that triggers the dialog. (If you are into Agile development
this technique is very similar to a concept called mocking).

Hi,

it's actually a prettry simple test, but I cannot make it work. I've tried both 
canoo 2.1 and the latest snapshot.

The below given test should fail in my opinion, but it does not. The HTML page 
simply has a button which will call a function onClick(). This function always 
opens an alert dialog. Thus, verifyNoDialogs should fail, but it doesn't.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

<html>
  <head>
    <script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
            function buttonClick() {
                alert ("buttonClick called");
                return false;
        }
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <form name="TestForm" action="TestResult.html" method="post">
      <input name="TestButton" type="submit" value="TestButton" onClick="return 
buttonClick();">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
