rehevkor5 -- I wrote this blog post a long time ago, when the Selenium IDE was not even on the radar screen. The syntax has also changed in the mean time. Selenium IDE is kept largely in sync with the Selenium syntax, so just use that, and click on the elements you need for the pages under test. Then you can add assertions/verifications to the HTML code that it generates for you.

I just downloaded the Selenium IDE, and it says 's...

I just downloaded the Selenium IDE, and it says 'setVariable' is an "Unknown command". In addition, the ${varname} syntax doesn't seem to work as you specify. Is this a feature of vanilla Selenium, or some modified version you're using? Thanks :)

I agree that this article is the best that I've found on the web until now.

I've used it several times, so tnx very much!!!

Now, a commands reference that I read often, mentions a 'css' locator that I can't use yet (don't know enough CSS...). Maybe you could add something about it...

I have been trying to try out Selenium Twisted, and this article is the best guide that I have found to setting it up.

However, I seem to be unable to check out the trunk, and all of the downloads available from the main Selenium site do not include the /code folder mentioned in the other portion of the email. If anyone knows another way to get a copy, or could post a zip file online somewhere, please let me know.

Thanks,

Selenium is teh r0x0r! Been using it for just 3 days and have been really impressed with its power and flexibility.

I was just wondering, how would one go about clicking on an area map? For example:

<MAP NAME="mytitle">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" ALT="Blah" COORDS="308,87,445,125" HREF="/blah.html">
</MAP>

Personally, I don't write web pages like this (ie. don't work with lynx, etc.), but unfortunately I don't have a say in the matter for the current project I am working on now.

Is it possible to clickAndWait on a map? I'm guessing DOM might be the way to go, but...

Just stumbled upon your post on using Selenium when I Googled for 'Plone' and 'XPath'.

I've chatted with Jason Huggins before too- he's done an excellent job with this tool. Thanks for illustrating it so well!
