Record and Replay Field Not Found

[Krishna Aradhi]

We have problem in replaying recorded script, It throws an exception saying the field (text box) is not found. When we open the page and view the HTML source the field is very much present with the same name and id under form. Is there any limitaion on field name, length, format etc?

Envoirnment: Liferay Portal, ICEFaces, JSF

Given below is the Trace:

While replaying the script slow down the execution speed (in IDE, below Base URL).

when ur application is slow sometimes it will throw element not found execption.

Cool. I replayed the script from Selenium-RC after adding "selenium.WaitForPageToLoad("30000")" after the click event on the URL which was taking some time to load. The script works now. Thanks {emoticon:__jive_emoticon_name=happy}
