How to check if an alert exists using WebDriver?

Question

I need to check the existence of Alert in WebDriver.

Sometimes it pops up an alert but sometimes it will not pop up. I need to check if the alert exists first, then I can accept or dismiss it or it will say: no alert found.

Answer 1

public boolean isAlertPresent() 
{ 
    try 
    { 
        driver.switchTo().alert(); 
        return true; 
    }   // try 
    catch (NoAlertPresentException Ex) 
    { 
        return false; 
    }   // catch 
}   // isAlertPresent()
