Thank you to everyone who had a hand in developing Selenium and improving the new release.
I have been tinkering with release 0.5 in Internet Explorer. Got a few tests working - grean and red lights flashing at me. Release 0.5. was good, release 0.6 looks even better. Changes, like the fireEvent and the new documentation, seem to be valuable but non-disruptive. Excellent! I can use a fireEvent. I saw the message on how to add one but having a fireEvent built-in is cleaner. Presumably, 'select( dropDownLocator, optionSpecifier )' more closely reflects the objects and parameters in Selenium. The new documentation will be easier to use. (Is there an old message on this list or on the developers list that maps the flow and structure of Selenium? A map might be helpful in undestanding the tool.) The Reference.html still says concerning AndWait, 'The exceptions to this pattern are the "open" and "click" actions, which will both wait for a page to load by default.' A few lines later it says, 'If the click action causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), use "clickAndWait".' This seems a tad contradictory and may lead to more of the questions that Mike has been patiently answering. (If I were Mike, Id be tempted to tell people to always try both the speedy and the AndWait whenever they got stumped . Theyd remember better after discovering for themselves which one works.) Last week, I was reminded how good Selenium is when I noticed that a shop was using a commercial test tool. The commercial tool cost thousands of dollars. The commercial also takes gobs of effort to setup, learn, manage and use. Not Selenium. You guys are great. Thanks again for you pain and effort, David __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
