From: Médoune Mbow Currently I will want to add one or any actins which will enable me to simulate the loop [for(i=0;i<7;i++)] as in java, c++, python........ If somebody has an idea on that which there does not exist.  Or if that were already done I will even like how it is done ? You can place the code below into your user-extensions.js file.  If you don't have that file, just create it in the selenium directory (selenium will load it at startup, if it exists).  A couple of points to note:   1 - This is not supported by anyone - not even me. 2 - It uses internals which could change in a newer version of selenium (e.g. currentCommandRow)   Russ     Example usage
store|	1|	Counter
usrWhile|	${Counter} < 5|
store|	_javascript_{parseInt(storedVars['Counter'])+1}|	Counter
usrEndWhile
