selenium failure

Hi. Hope someone can help. I am new to software testing and exploring the features in Selenium 0.6.0.

 

I’m trying to get the fireEvent action to open a new page on a website using an onclick function but Selenium is telling me there is a failure.

 

The message in the log console is listed below

 

·                                 Executing: |open | http://uat.pandanet.coop/cooptravel | |

·                                Executing: |fireEvent | Header1_Skiing_link | onclick |

·                                Unexpected Exception: name -> Error, number -> -2147024809, description -> Invalid argument., message -> Invalid argument.

 

The HTML code concerned is listed below

 

                                              <td class="rollover_tabs_small" id="Skiing" vAlign="top"><a href="Controls/#" id="Header1_Skiing_link" onclick="window.open('http://www.whichski.co.uk', 'headerlink_Ski'); return false;">ski</a>

                                              </td>

What would be the best way to open this page? Use the clickAndWait action or the onClick? (When the new window opens I will be performing some tests in the newly opened window)

 

 

Thanks in anticipation
