And, How to take the Text from Alert ?

Answer 1

You can retrieve the text from Alert using below code

String alertMessage = driver.switchTo().alert().getText();
System.out.print(alertMessage);

Answer 2

You can not, as it is not in the html. However you can handle alert using following code:

driver.switchTo().alert().accept();

Answer 3

It is unable to find x-path or id for an alert. you can only click on alert. To accept or dismiss alert you can use switchTo() method.

  driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
  driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss();
