Hi Marc, Oh, duh, you are right. The second window normally pops up when a form is submitted, with target="_blank" as you say. But when I click the button with the script, it just opens a blank window. Therefore I did it via invoke as in my original post and I forgot that this will just open in the same window. So I guess the only way to fix this is to figure out why clicking the button brings up a blank window. I haven't got a clue because nothing looks weird in the html to me, but I will get a programmer here to help me.
Well, at least I know now how selectWindow works if you really have two windows! thanks Lisa On 2/13/07, Marc Guillemot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Lisa, so it seems that you have only 1 window opened. How should the second window have been created? Through a form submit with target="_blank"? Normally htmlunit handles this correctly. Marc.
