Generally JavaScript popups are generated by web application and hence they can be easily controlled by the browser.
Webdriver offers the ability to cope with javascript alerts using Alerts APIClick here to view Alert API Details
// Get a handle to the open alert, prompt or confirmation
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
Alert is an interface. There below are the methods that are used
//Will Click on OK button.
alert.accept();
// Will click on Cancel button.
alert.dismiss()
//will get the text which is present on th Alert.
alert.getText();
//Will pass the text to the prompt popup
alert.sendkeys();
//Is used to Authenticate by passing the credentials
alert.authenticateUsing(Credentials credentials)
The below is the sample code for prompt popup, please copy and make an html file and pass it to the webdriver as below.
