VIEW CAPTURE SCREENSHOT EXAMPLE IN WEBDRIVER
In above example, “captureEntirePageScreenshot” command will capture and store screenshot of Google home page in “D” drive with file name selenium.jpg. You can change file name and file storing path as you
wish. Main benefit of this command is it will store whole entire page screen shot without considering length of the page.
“assignId” command
“assignId” command is useful to assign temporary “id” to an element. Main benefit of this command is you can assign id to an element rather than a slow/complicated XPath. Once you will assign id to an element, you can use that id as an element identifier. Don’t forget that id will disappear once your page will be reloaded.

One thought on ““assignId” and “captureEntirePageScreenshot” commands of selenium IDE”
Hi Prakash,
I am new to Sel IDE and finding this site really useful and intresting.
Can you also post on while loops and gotoif etc commands how can we do in ide. Also can you also post on how to do data driven testing in sel ide. like for ex, using multiple ids/pwds to login into a site?
Cheers,
Anagha
