Hi all, Selenium tests do not have to be based on Javascript anymore. One can use http://code.google.com/p/webdriver/ for example to drive the browser directly using it's native API's and get around the limitations of javascript. I know for example some popups in IE cannot really be accessed by Javascript driven tests. I guess ESME ATM would not use such features, but some portals do ;)
