I am currently using Selenium IDE for testing. I need to test on other browsers besides Firefox, so I decided to go with Internet Explorer.
I downloaded selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar file and IEDriverServer_Win32_2.44.0.exe and successfully am able to run my Selenium IDE tests on Internet Explorer.
However, the tests completely fail on IE. Every other command or test on IDE fails in IE. Each time IE cannot find links and ids of elements on the page. Yet, my IDE tests passes perfectly on Firefox.
Are there any reasons why IDE tets would pass successfully on Firefox but pass in such a miserable fashion in Explorer?
Also, I'm using IE version 8.
Thank you.
Here is the Log report showing all the errors. As you can see, it cannot find the element on the fifth line. But the same script works fine in Firefox. Why would it be unable to find the elements in IE but CAN in Firefox?
