Can't handle a child/new window's Alert on load

[DeviPratik]

1. Launch the Parent.html
2. Handle the Alert on it
3. Click on the link to open the "ChildWindow" as a new window
   4. Try to handle the Alert on the "ChildWindow" ( program hangs )

Parent.html:

<script type="text/javascript"> alert("Parent Page alert"); </script> Click To open New/Child window

Child.html:

<script type="text/javascript"> alert("Child Page Alert"); </script>

This is from ChildPage.html

This repo tracks the the WebDriver specification itself.

This may be a problem in the spec. The algorithm for Switch To Window contains a check for an active user prompt as the first step, and it's not clear that this should exclude those that can be handled by the Alert commands.

Should a new window be opened that immediately causes a user prompt to be displayed (eg. onload='alert("foo")') it becomes impossible to switch to that window.

According to the spec, this should work. But we need a test case to prove this.
