Hi,

I needed help on down\_load\_time function as i was trying to automate my  
performance test cases.

This function gives the time taken to download after a click to a  
button/link etc.

to me everything was going fine unless and until i came across the  
confirmation pop-ups.  
In that case if i’m using this function after the button click (for  
which the pop up comes)it gives me time for that particular click only.  
and if i use this function after popup clicker, it gives me time for pop  
up click only.  
whereas i need time for the page to get downloaded once button on pop up  
is clicked.

i searched a lot but didn’t found any help for down\_load\_time function.  
Please help…!!!
