Handling window popups in Selenium using C#

Question

I am trying to pass values like First name,Last Name etc in a window popup. I am attaching the screenshot of the page. The Html code behind the page:

<input type="text" name="lastname" value="" onblur="capAll(this);" class="critfont" size="22" maxlength="16">

I tried inspecting it and copy the Xpath, but it is unable to find the Element and is throwing exception.

My C# code is:

var wa = new WebDriverWait(Driver.Instance, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
var LN = wa.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.XPath("//*[@id='pageBodyNoHeader']/form/table[2]/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/input")));
LN.Click();
LN.SendKeys("Aerere")

When I am running this code, it is throwing me an exception that it has timed out after 10 secs.

I have also tried this code:

Thread.Sleep(1000);
Driver.Instance.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@id='pageBodyNoHeader']/form/table[2]/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/input")).Click();
Driver.Instance.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@id='pageBodyNoHeader']/form/table[2]/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/input")).SendKeys("Whatever");

Over here the exception that it throws is "It is unable to find the field name".

Can someone please help? Thank you

In order to switch to the window popup, I have used the following code:

Driver.Instance.SwitchTo().Window(Driver.Instance.WindowHandles.Last());
Driver.Instance.Manage().Window.Maximize();

It would help. As of now there's not enough information to solve your issue. — Florent B., Jul 28 '16 at 14:28
You need to call `driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);` to set the context, and not `Maximize();` — Florent B., Jul 28 '16 at 14:31
Ya I have used that already, I just forgot to add that line. Its now updated. :) — , Jul 28 '16 at 14:33
Since the second window is not maximized on your screenshot, you probably need to wait for a second window. — Florent B., Jul 28 '16 at 14:34
I have used 10 seconds, its throwing me an exception saying its timed out after 10 seconds. — , Jul 28 '16 at 14:37
How many handles do you get with `Driver.Instance.WindowHandles` ? — Florent B., Jul 28 '16 at 14:39
I am getting 2, so I tried no to maximize and using the same commands, now its working fine though, but the moment I am trying to maximize..its trowing exception, saying timed out. — , Jul 28 '16 at 14:40

I think there may be problem in your xpath, you should try using By.Name as below :-

var wa = new WebDriverWait(Driver.Instance, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
var LN = wa.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(By.Name("lastname")));
LN.Click();
LN.SendKeys("Aerere");

Note :- Make sure this element is not inside any frame or iframe. If it is inside then you need to switch that frame or iframe before finding element as :- Driver.Instance.SwitchTo().Frame("frame name or id");

Hope it helps...:)
