Alert Class

The methods and properties of the Alert class are as follows:

• accept()
• dismiss()
• send_keys()
• text

The accept() method accepts the alert by clicking the OK button. This simulates the user clicking on the alert button displayed on the webpage. The dismiss() method cancels the alert by clicking the Cancel button. The send_keys() method types the specified text in the prompt alert box. The text fetches the alert text to a script variable.

Example

The example script illustrates the Alert class methods to handle the alert in Python. The driver.switch_to.alert() method switches the focus to the alert window.
