As an author of the Selenium Recorder, I'm very impressed with the test editor.
However I write tests using jsp:include tags in JSP, so I still need a copy-and-paste solution like my extension rather than just saving / loading HTML files directly. It would be great if we could have one extension that has both capabilities, and also intuitive editing UIs like this test editor. I would be willing to incorporate the test editor code into my project, but I wouldn't mind doing the opposite way - contributing to the test editor project. BTW I have not stated the license applied to my extension code yet, but I'm thinking of Apache License 2.0 which is same as Selenium and the test editor. regards, shinya On 12/09/05, Patrick Lightbody <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is absolutely fantastic.
