# Handle Session Overlay Blocking
When a web session becomes unresponsive with blank/frozen screens, an overlay dialog (often session timeout) is likely blocking interaction. Use JavaScript to identify the blocking element (inspect DOM for overlay classes like `small_medium_overlay`), hide it with `display: none`, and scroll to reveal the form content. If screenshots fail due to overlay, verify form values via JavaScript inspection before submitting directly via `click()` rather than relying on visual verification.Is this your skill, or is something wrong with this listing?
