Dynamically generated windows name discrepancy among selenium IDE and RC

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 914

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch one page and one pop up is also getting launched with that page.
2. Id or Name for those windows are generated dynamically. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Here I want to validate my pop up message, close the pop up and come back to main window
and proceed my UI opeartion.

if record using the Selenium IDE and navigating into pop up and main window is identified
with some dynamic id or name(). whereas if i use selenium.getAllWindowNames() or selenium.getAllWindowIds()
the array with size 2 and the values are [selenium_main_app_window, selenium_main_app_window]
and [undefined, undefined]. Why there is the discrepancy among IDE and RC. Is there
any way for me to get those dynamic id like IDE through RC.I want to traverse among
my pop up and main window and proceed my ui operation.



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
selenium 1.0

All active development is focused on Selenium 2.0 (the WebDriver APIs).  Updating issue
priority accordingly.

Selenium RC is deprecated and the support of Selenium RC is discontinued.

Selenium team is not going to fix remaining issues in Selenium RC and we don't accept
new issue reports on Selenium RC.

On the other side, we continue to accept pull requests and patches from the community.
