Combo box recording is not supported in IE 7. For example, in a Gender combo box if the option, "Female" is selected, the script is recorded as follows:
ComboBox Click, "Name=Gender", ""
Window SetContext, "Class=Internet Explorer_Server", "Activate=0"
Window Click, "", "Coords=55,23"
Instead of getting recorded as follows:
ComboBox Click, "Name=Gender", ""
ComboListBox Click, "Label=Gender:", "Text=Female"
Workaround: In the recorded script, manually type ComboListBox Click , "Action", "recognition method", "parameters". For more information, see ComboxListBox help topic in the Rational Robot Help.
List box recording is not supported in IE 7. List box click generates the following comment - WARNING: Unable to record Mouse Click.
Workaround: In the recorded script, manually type ListBox action%,
recMethod$, parameters$.
For example, ListBox Click, "Name=Gender",
"Text=Female". For more information, see ListBox help topic in the
Rational Robot Help.
The browser commands such as Browser Back, Browser Refresh, Browser Forward, and Browser Stoploading do not playback in IE7.
Workaround: To playback the browser commands scripted in IE 6 such as Browser Back and Browser Forward, pause the playback at that command, record Back or Forward actions by right-clicking and selecting Back or Forward from the pop-up menu options. On IE 7, record Back or Forward actions by right-clicking and selecting Back or Forward from the pop-up menu options.
