Selenium-rc Perl

tart has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Test::WWW::Selenium

Using Selenium I cam log into the wepage and get into home page. But I want to understand if it is possible to do following,

In home page When I give the name of third party program name to particular text box and press execute button it launches the given third party program.

Is it possible to check success/failure of program launching after 'Execute' button is clicked.

Thanks for suggestion,
Regards,
tart

Does this 'third party program' on the server side or are you automating a HTA file? You need to clarify your question.	[reply]

In my translation, neither. The OP clicks on a link that dowloads a file in a custom file format, to which firefox asks him what application to use to open that file, and he wants to put the choice of the applicatoin in the test script. The third party program is this application, which is thus ran on the client side. This is just my guess though, and my crystal ball skills aren't as refined as that of some other monks.	[reply]
