Command - Array

Aim:
to demonstrate how to use an array with Selenium IDE.

Pre-requisites:

• Firefox browser with Selenium IDE installed ,use link How to install Selenium IDE?

Key Steps
      1. Copy the JavaScript from the blog and save into 'ScriptFunction.js'.
      2. Copy the script from the blog and save as 'Array.html'.
      3. Launch Firefox and open the Selenium-IDE.
      4. Include the saved 'ScriptFunction.js' into IDE using Options section and close the IDE.
      5. Again Re-Start the IDE.
      6. Open the saved 'Array.html' file into Selenium_IDE.
      7. Run the same script.
      8. Once script runs the array element would display into browser URL as because in array sript takes URL using array elements.

Here is the Java Script Code

this.browserbot.resetPopups();
}

var x = testCase.commands[i];
command_rows.push(x);
}
