Make IE 'follow' FF

Question

Hi, When developing webpages i need to test the layout and functions in both FF and IE. Anybody know of a FF addon or something else where i can make IE follow FF, meaning the if i type or click in FF IE will automatically do the same?

Answer 1

Interesting idea, sadly no, I don't know such a tool. The closest I know is the IETab for Firefox at will at least give you the IE engine in the tabbed firefox environment.

Answer 2

You could totally do this with vb or something. I'm not a Windows guy by any means, but I know that these kinds of programs already exist to, say, automatically play 12 games of online poker at the same time.

You should look at selenium. You define your test process with code (the clicks, the typing, etc.), and then play it back in different browsers - IE7/8, Safari, FF... That way you can ensure that you're following the exact same process in each browser, every time.
