Selenium 2: open link in new tab and close tab


Alps:

I want to be able to open links in new tabs in Selenium 2. I also want to close the tab after I finish interacting with the page. How is this possible if I have WebElementa <a>tag?

I'm using Selenium 2's Java API with the Firefox driver running on Firefox 4.

Jim Evans:

Currently, the Selenium WebDriver API doesn't have any way to handle tabs. The project really needs a consistent, cross-browser approach to managing tabs before I expect to see an implementation of a language binding (e.g. Java). Until then, your JavaScript solution may be the only way, and keep in mind that your code will be responsible for managing the lifetime of that tab.
