hello

i am trying to click a button which comes on a new page but its unclickable  
i tried id,classpath , xpaths everything but all time it says element could not be located  
my question is does the app also shows new window like new windows comes in web page while using selenium and we need to switch to that window or frame in order to click the button on that?
