Google Chrome Frame is retiring


Google Chrome Frame is a plugin for Internet Explorer. This plugin enables IE browsers to use the features of open web HTML5 apps. This plugin enables IE with Chrome Browser capabilities in terms of rendering. And It was just today, I used Google Chrome Frame and then I found this blog http://blog.chromium.org/2013/06/retiring-chrome-frame.html . Though I did not have much a time with Google Chrome Frame, this one single trick saved alot of my time.
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge,chrome=1">
 This particular line made my website/webapp to be rendered using chrome frame. Thus I didn't have to worry about IE. As IE was now being treated as Chrome browser. It's really a great plugin for web developers who have to build websites/webapps for users using IE too. This plugin is retiring in January 2014. In the meantime you can test this plugin if you want. It will not be available for download after January 2014 and won't be supported by Google anymore. However the GCF installed before January will still function. You can detect if GCF is installed in IE or not. If its not installed then you can display an instructional message to install it. Its pretty simple. Just include the script to check:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1/CFInstall.min.js"></script>

and add the following line on document.ready
CFInstall.check({
    mode:"overlay",
    destination:"http://example.com/"
});
The destination here is the url the browser should redirect to after successful installation of the plugin. Or you can manually download the plugin from : http://www.google.com/chromeframe?prefersystemlevel=true .

Automate file upload in Selenium IDE

Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests. It records your interactions with websites to help you generate and maintain site automation, tests, and remove the need to manually step through repetitive tasks. Selenium IDE can be installed in Google Chrome from  here . For Firefox visit this  link . File upload in Selenium IDE cannot be automated simply by recording from the IDE. Because when we select the file input field, the dialog that opens up is a system window which cannot be controlled by Selenium IDE. Therefore, clicking the input file field to select a file will not work. Also the selected file path is changed to C:\fakepath\filename.extension. So to fix this issue, we need to configure the browser to support file upload and then instead of clicking the input field we set the file using ‘type’ selenium command which is shown below. First, to support file upload in Selenium IDE, configure your browser to support file upload: Visit ‘chrome://
