Hello

Anyone know of a Firefox pluggin I could use to test CSS selectors before I put them in my code?

For xpath, I use xpather which allows me to type all my fancy xpaths and shows me the matches, or right click anywhere on the page to get the xpath of the element.
That helps me cut on development time which, at least in my manager’s opinion, is even more important than cutting a few seconds of execution time. But of course, if I can get the best of both worlds, I would be more than happy…

Also, are css locators prone to cross-browser issues? One thing I like about xpaths is that they are pretty consistent across browsers expect for some features like selecting by index.

Hello,
I am so new to Selenium.
I think i will focus on css locator but I find on selenium document, it is not too much. When i read CSS topic on w3s, it is not the same to selenium…Im so confused. I dont know where to start…
Can any one help to show me the way?

Am trying to find the 5th checkbox, ie. there are initially 4 on page display and when check one the jobs will post with another check box. Being this is a GWT developed web app, don’t want to rely upon GWT tag ids, etc… as they are dynamic. Using DOM, or Xpath is bleak as not much available, and CSS looks like my only hope for IE.
Thanks
