Hi! i am automating one web application using perl and selenium which works irrespective of browser. As the selenium is built to work entirely on web technology,it can not handle dialog box or save as window. so autoit is the tool which is used to handle dialog box. here is the autoit script which handles dialog box.

f $CmdLine[0] < 2 then
; Arguments are not enough
msgbox(0,"Error","Supply all the Arguments, Dialog title,Save/Cancel a
+nd Path to save(optional)")
Exit
EndIf

; wait until dialog box appears
WinWait($CmdLine[1]) ; match the window with substring
$title = WinGetTitle($CmdLine[1]) ; retrives whole window title
WinActive($title);

; if user choose to save file
If (StringCompare($CmdLine[2],"Save",0) = 0) Then

WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)
Sleep(1)

; If firefox is set the save the file on some specif location without 
+asking to user.
; It will be save after this point.
;If not A new Dialog will appear prompting for Path to save
Send("{ENTER}")

if ( StringCompare(WinGetTitle("[active]"),$title,0) = 0 ) Then
WinActivate($title)
Send("{ENTER}")
EndIf

if WinExists("Enter name") Then
$title = WinGetTitle("Enter name")
if($CmdLine[0] = 2) Then
; Save File
WinActivate($title)
ControlClick($title,"","Button2")
Else
;Set path and save file
WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)
ControlSetText($title,"","Edit1",$CmdLine[3])
ControlClick($title,"","Button2")
EndIf

Else
;Firefox is configured to save file at specific location
Exit
EndIf

EndIf
; do not save the file
If (StringCompare($CmdLine[2],"Cancel",0) = 0) Then
WinWaitActive($title)
Send("{ESCAPE}")
EndIf
