Re: [Seaside] Albatross: clicking on Javascript alert boxesprogrammatically

No, and it is by design as it would be a huge security hole for browsers if you could script OS mouse movement to confirm installation of malicious components.

Subject: [Seaside] Albatross: clicking on Javascript alert boxesprogrammatically

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible at all to use Albatross (or Javascript for
that matter) to click the OK button on an alert box. I guess not, but
I'm no javascript expert.

Thanks in advance

Matthias

What you can do is to redefine the about() function though, by doing
something like that:

function about (msg) { console.log(msg); }

Now there is no about-box popping up anymore, but you get a log entry
in the console (in Safari and FireFox).

Cheers,
Lukas

Re: Albatross: clicking on Javascript alert boxesprogrammatically

Thanks a lot Boris and Lukas! I was suspecting that clicking OK
programmatically is a big security hole. So redefining alert() is the
way to go here :-) .

Cheers
