Re: Finding the coordinates of the browser alerts

Hi Rajapriya,

Ah! as it's web-driver based, I would then suggest you file an issue here:

https://github.com/w3c/webdriver

Or you can repost your question to the Browser Testing and Tools Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/testing/browser/

Best of luck!

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.
