The KW 'Confirm Action' doesn't work in some scenarios. I don't know why, here are my observations. Maybe that helps.

  1. Work The current page contain the JS code like 'confirm (.....)'.
  2. Doesn't work The current page does not contain the JS code like 'confirm (.....)'. The confirm action is located on another page.

I assume that this is a limitation of Selenium itself. Have you tried that without Robot in between, say with the Selenium IDE alone?

Selenium intercepts calls to confirm(), and when than code is not on the page that selenium is managing, that it sounds logical to me, that you cannot confirm actions that result from calling confirm on other pages.

See selenium docs: http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-remote-control/1.0-beta-2/doc/python/selenium.selenium-class.html#get_confirmation
