Using waitForCondition ( script,timeout ) in Selenium IDE

I recorded a script using the Selenium IDE extension for Firefox, and I would like to add the command waitForCondition. I see it takes two arguments: script and timeout. In Selenium IDE, I have 3 text fields for each command: the command name (I assume "waitForCondition"), the target, and the value. Where and how should I put the two arg...

Accessing properties of window with Selenium

The page I am trying to test sets the value of "global variables". From the Firebug, I can access those as properties of the window object (e.g. window.foo).

jQuery's ajax is causing a full page refresh in FireFox

I'm making an ajax call with jQuery. The ajax call works fine in IE 7, but FireFox 3 always does a full page refresh when making this call. The ajax call is POSTing to an ASP.NET page method. Is there a problem in jQuery or am I just missing some setting? $.ajax({ async: false, type: "POST", url: "Default.aspx/DoSomething", data: "...

CSS: Scrollable Nested Table, works in FF, fails in IE

I'd really love this to work in IE. I'm not able to change the fact that tables should not be used here. IE is the only browser the project I'm working on is required to support. Here's the code: <html> <body> <style type="text/css"> #test table { border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 95%; } #test table td {...

Delphi control that could mimic "Add-ons|Extension list" of Firefox?

My aim is to update the look of the GUI in my app. Currently my GUI contains a lot of listboxes which are used to edit some objects in an old fashioned way, that is, user double-clicks an item and a dialog is shown to modify the corresponding object. I think a good modern approach is how Firefox displays the extensions installed (a sna...

Browser Extension Idea: Provide HTTP Auth Values through Web Forms

I want to bounce an idea around. I have been building web services and web applications for over a decade now, and have more recently been focusing on providing as RESTful a service as possible (eg. using the same URI for both browsers and API clients, but having them modify accept: to decide if to send XML or XHTML). One big sticking p...

Overriding a JavaScript results in infinite loop in IE but not in Firefox

I'm using the following code to override a JavaScript function named dismissRelatedLookupPopup(). In Firefox, this works without a problem (displays the alert once and runs my code), but in Internet Explorer 7 it results in an infinite loop displaying the alert() forever. I'm doing this because I don't control the code where dismissRelat...

I'm working on a Firefox extension that will manipulate highlighted text.

Unfortunately, that isn't possible for a...

IE7 DIV border printing problem

I have a web page that renders the same in IE7, Firefox, and Safari - except when printing. IE7 appears to allocate too much space for borders when printing. In the example below, the box heights plus borders should add up to the same height in the 2 columns. I set the borders to 10px to exaggerate the problem. I hate CSS hacks, and so...

Design order: Firefox, IE, or both?

When coding new javascript heavy websites, which order or web browser do you code for? I can see these possible orders, but I am not sure which I like best: Code for one first and get it working well, then start testing with other and fix errors as I go. This will allow for the most rapid development (with Firefox at least) but I've ...

firefoxs renders thin grey lines at content box edges of a png at certain widths - why?

When firefox (3.0.6) renders a png image at certain widths (e.g., 50%), a thin grey line is shown along the left and top edges of the content box. The line disappears at other widths (e.g., 70%). Furthermore, the line doesn't seem to be present in the original image (using gimp to inspect the image). The phenomenon occurs in the absence...
