Cannot extract info on pop-up form (Read 7419 times)

Or may be it does not recognize a popup. Thanks

Yes, I did. It didn't work.
Here is the scenario:
1. Go to URL (Opens a list of links)
2. A link like this (After selecting a link partially)
3. A click (Click the link. Opens a webpage that has some text and a list of links (1 to 4 links, arranged horizontally, in one line)
4. A click (Click the first link in the horizontal list of links. Opens a popup that has the info that needs to be extracted)
5 Take data (Which is on the popup)

Replacing 3 above with Take data and commenting out 4 also does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Also try to check "To open in new browser:".

It did not open the popup inside the parent window and ignored the entire data on popup. I can see the popup opening but I was wondering if there is any browser setting that may restrict access to popup data? Thanks

------------------
By the way, I do not see the option "To open in new browser:"

Otherwise, IRobot will not be able to read it. The "To open in new browser:" is located just below "Target Query: "
