Selenium automatically closes unhandled modal Diaplogs (and throws an exception). You can disable closing such diaplog your can set capability Unexpectedalertbehaviour to "ignore" (It's "dismiss" by Defau LT). In this case an exception would be thrown, but the dialog'll is not being closed and you'll be able to see IT.P.S. By the the-the-the-issue have no attachment you mentioned) P.p.s. Why does yo use 2.25? The latest version is 2.29 at the moment

As you suggested I had configured the selenium with latest drivers i.e 2.9 if still I am facing the same issue with DIFFR ENT Alert message box.i am not sure what to use capabilities with options, please help me in this since I am not able to mo  ve forward.the only one diffrence I can see after installing the latest drivers are only change in alert Messgae apart from That's nothing is workedout.   Internetexploreroptions options = new Internetexploreroptions ();                    Options. Introduceinstabilitybyignoringprotectedmodesettings = true;                    Options. Ignorezoomlevel = true;                    Desiredcapabilities iecapabilities = options. Tocapabilities () as desiredcapabilities;                    Iecapabilities.setcapability ("Ignore", Internetexplorerunexpectedalertbehavior.ignore);                    Currentwebdriver = new Internetexplorerdriver (options);

@mailtopavan1987 with the latest. NET bindings, you should not has the use of desiredcapabilities directly in most cases. Specifically, you should is able to do the following:internetexploreroptions options = new Internetexploreroptions (); optio Ns. Introduceinstabilitybyignoringprotectedmodesettings = true;options. Ignorezoomlevel = true;options. Unexpectedalertbehavior = Internetexplorerunexpectedalertbehavior.ignore; Currentwebdriver = new Internetexplorerdriver (options); Incidentally, I would encourage you to don't use the Introduceinstabi Litybyignoringprotectedmodesettings option if at all Possible[1].

Hi,i tried with all the solutions given by if you are still I am getting the same error messgae.actually there is no opened D Ialog box to say options. Unexpectedalertbehavior = Internetexplorerunexpectedalertbehavior.ignore; But I'm wondering why still it's giving such error saying that modal dialog box present (Unhandledalertexception Unhandl Ed by user code). The Happening since we have installed mcafee-siteadviser patches before that no such error occured.is I t because of Mcafee-siteadiver? If so are there any solution to overcome this?

Since This behavior are only observed where McAfee SiteAdvisor are installed, I ' m calling this a duplicate of #4839.
