My script WebUI.openBrowser('google.com') WebDriver driverInstance = DriverFactory.getWebDriver() //driverInstance.findElements(By.cssSelector('input[name="btnK"]')).get(0).sendKeys(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL,KeyEvent.VK_T) WebUI.sendKeys(null, Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"t")) driverInstance.switchTo().defaultContent() driverInstance.get("google.com") It's not work with IE browser. — Trung Nghĩa Cao, Jun 05 '19 at 09:28
Looks like you are opening a new tab here. IE will block this by default. (It decides that this is a popup and will prompt the user to accept...) — pcalkins, Jun 05 '19 at 17:12

You can use:

driver.switchTo().window()

Using JavaScriptExecutor is generally not recommended.

You should have a look at this question and try Turning on Compatibility Mode.

Also, have a look at this answer for general info on using Selenium with IE.

Hope this helps!

Try with JavaScript executor,

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driverInstance;
js.executeScript("window.open(arguments[0], 'blank')", null):

This should work too... yet using JavaScript executor is generally not recommended. – Moshe Slavin Jun 05 '19 at 09:01

Try to refer line of code may help to switch tabs.

//Switching between tabs using CTRL + tab keys.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"\t");
//Switch to current selected tab's content.
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

for more information you can refer links below.

First I suggest you to make a test using new sample code and just try to switch the tabs from it. Once it work than try to implement in your original code. I also noticed that your code is not using '\t'. It is missing '\'. – Deepak-MSFT Jun 05 '19 at 09:54
