Hi Nathan,

You can get the code for Firewatir for
http://www.code.google.com/p/firewatir/trunk using any sub version client.
It works with Firefox 1.5 and above versions. The execution speed which was
the problem earlier has been resolved. Now execution speed has improved a
lot. Comparable to using Watir with IE.

Let me know you exprience/doubts/queries/suggestions regarding the same.
Currently it doesn't support forms, frames, table row and table cells.

Regards,
Angrez

Hi, I am an experienced developer/tester and have been using Watir for a
couple of months now. I have read a lot about Selenium also, and have noted
that people are concerned about the need to install Selenium on the server,
because it has to be served from the same location as the web page being
tested. Well I share this concern, but not because it might be difficult, or
because of some other experience reason, rather because it is not good
practice, nor will we ever install third party tools on our production
servers. This causes a problem with using selenium for my company, and that
is that our production environment is generally more stable and better than
our dev or qa environments. So what to do? I've read about FireWatir, but
have not been able to find much on it. I'd prefer not to rebuild Firefox
with that COM-like plugin because that makes it so that I'm not using
exactly the same firefox as the rest of the world, and could produce
different results than the real wor
ld sees, I also am unable to find the plugin for firefox as a separate
program plugin. So I guess I can't test firefox or safari with watir. Does
anybody know of a way to accomplish what I wish with JUST Watir? Please
help, thanks.

Nathan
