Let’s get started.
New Selenium IDE – Using ‘answer on next prompt’ command for answering text in the prompt
Follow the below steps for practicing answer on next prompt command in Selenium IDE along with me:
1) Execute the open command in Selenium IDE as explained in the previous article: Selenium IDE – open command

3) While the second row is selected in step 2, enter the Selenium IDE command ‘click’ to the Command box field, enter the id locating strategy id=prompt into the Target box field as shown below:
Note: The locating strategy id=prompt is for locating the ‘GetPrompt’ button on the http://omayo.blogspot.com/ URL page (Shown at the beginning of the article).
We are doing this to click on the ‘GetPrompt’ button, which ultimately displays the prompt dialog.
4) Right-click on the above step and select ‘Insert new command’ option as shown below:
5) Select the inserted row, enter the command answer on next prompt into the Command field and the answer text to be entered say ‘Arun Motoori‘ into the Target field as shown below:
6) Click on ‘Run current test’ option and observe that the execution got passed:
We have checked that the required prompt dialog with the text ‘What is your name?’ is displayed and the given answer ‘Arun Motoori’ will be entered into the prompt dialog when dispayed.
Note: We won’t be able to see it visually, but the given answer will be entered into the prompt.
