Firstly,  Hello all,

Just started playing with Selenium, and, just thought I'd mention a few 
things that struck me would be nice to have:

1 - Title of current test
I think the titles used should be consistent between the suiteTable row and 
the current Test Table.  To save me having to write this in by hand, in two 
tables/two files, it would be cool if I could leave the suite table anchor 
empty, and the JS could retrieve the title from the top row/td of the 
current test (or the other way round).  Make sense?

2 - Shrink the control panel
Not sure where to put this, but a lot of it (the buttons/controls etc) could 
be strung out across the very top of the page.  This, obviously, would give 
more room to build "lengthier" and more descriptive test/titles.

3 - Tester Annotation
Ability to let a tester annotate results.  Probably have to be a mode 
dependent thing?  When the results are posted back, pass the annotations 
along too.

4 - Info Panel
I'd like to see this as a floating div, but, doesn't have to be.  Populate 
this element with comments/descriptions taken from a new column attached at 
right of the test table (could set this to display:none in the html).  I'd 
use this to guide a (somewhat) non-techy tester running the tests in 
walk/step mode, using it for "hints" etc.

5 - Extending the Info Panel.
If the Info Panel could contain rudimentary script also - well, this would 
be extremely powerful.  For example: forget "testing" for a moment - along 
with the existing abilities of selenium (stepping etc), the Info Panel could 
be used to automate movement through an application, perhaps gathering 
input, populating fields, etc. as you go...

Forgive my noobness if this is already "on the cards"... ;)
