Hi.. thanks for the post. I am new to selenium and recorded the script as per the steps above. But the script looks different. Here is the how it looks than what is given the table in post –
Sample_test_script
open /
click css=a.gb_s.gb_h
clickAndWait css=#gb8 > span.gb_h
click css=a.gb_s.gb_h
clickAndWait css=#gb78 > span.gb_h
click css=a.gb_s.gb_h
click css=#gb1 > span.gb_h
My script does not have AssertTitle command
Think, AssertTitle commands were manually added. They are for checking if Title is correct.
Clickandwait css=a.q.qs
[error] Element css=a.q.qs not found

no Its not possible with selenium IDE
I'm getting "[error] Could not connect to Selenium Server. Have you started the Selenium Server yet?". Please advise.
