add information [about : the JavaScript window ID of the window to select] with example.
ReplyDeleteCurious...what do you do when Selenium IDE running openWindow will not invoke a new window?
ReplyDeleteOnce you prepare the script and save it, then if you again run the same script, then no need to URL (if you open the right window), so why this command is used ?
ReplyDeleteIf you use the script somewhere else such as HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff, then there's no internal self reference for the site and it needs to be explicitly stated.
