Re: Finding the coordinates of the browser alerts

Hi Marcos,

Thanks for your email. Please see my comments below.

The module which interacts with the browser is a webdriver-based module,
and I have already checked the webdriver APIs and couldn't make use of
those APIs in my client-host based project because of below case:

As I mentioned earlier,
*On the host system, the browser is rendered on a touchscreen display
(using HDMI/DVI outputs of the system). That touchscreen controls the
browser. I can find out the browser coordinates where the user is touched
and what action (such as tap, double tap) is done. Then the coordinates and
the action details will be sent to the remote system over the network.*

*On the remote system, the receiver module will receive the coordinates and
action details, and form the webdriver commands using the received data
then send the commands to the browser. Please note, the application which
controls the browser is a webdriver-based module that I develop now.*

We can't use input drivers because there could be multiple browser sessions
opened for multiple users using different touchscreens.


Thanks,
Rajapriya
