browser.get_alert() does not return "None" when there is no alert

[njbennett]

When I call browser.get_alert() on a page without an alert, instead of None, it returns NoAlertPresentException: Message: No alert is present-- contrary to the documentation.

Ie.,

from splinter import Browser

browser = Browser()
browser.visit('https://www.google.com')
browser.get_alert()

It'd be nice for this to work as documented, since then I'd have a simple way to check that there isn't an active alert on the page, although it's not a huge problem.

Is the problem with the code, or with the documentation? It looks like .get_alert() is using a deprecated Selenium method, though I'm not sure if that's the cause of the issue or not.

Now I get selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:

@andrewsmedina, I think this issue can be closed now?
