I did try that but it is not really what I'm waiting for. Writing that  
HTML table is just too verbose and error message was not really  
helpfull to find that I forgot just a </td> in that bloody table.
This confirmed me I hate html ;-)

I was not able to do anything with Core. No error messages, no doc ...  
and nothing. This simply never worked for me.

I did try this one. I feel this is the right one for me.
Apparently there was a known bug that prevent using Firefox 3 on Mac,  
bad luck isn't it ?

I know it is suppose to work on any plateform since it is Java, but  
that is only true if developpers doesn't try to make Java not portable.
Unfortunatly, there is system specific code in that part of Selenium  
server that try to modify network system file (I checked out the  
source) !!! Yes, you read correctly.

So, runing that server didn't work at all and I did take the risk to  
run it using sudo (I read somewhere it could be needed). You know the  
result ? It broke my network system config and I really had to  
reinstall my machine from scratch. As a Java developper I was  
estonished thay was able to do that, this is soooo bad !
That was with version 0.9 and 1.

Anyway, I still would like to try to use Selenium since it's the only  
one I klnow that use real browser, but in no way I'll do a sudo with  
it now.
=> Any one used Selenium successfully on Mac ?
