Command clickAndWait not working when Selenium IDE running on Internet Explorer

[Ilya]

Hi,

I have an issue using WebDriver playback with Selenium IDE and am hoping someone might be able to help me. I would be very greatful.

I am trying to run my Selenium IDE scripts on Internet Explorer. I have no problem getting IE running my script. It even successfully runs the first few lines of my IDE script. However, there is one particular line it fails every time. The line is nothing more than the clickAndWait command with the target using the id of a link. It works perfectly and easily with firefox. But each time I try to use it in IE it cannot find the element. Whats especially strange is that there is a clickAndWait command right before the problematic one and THAT one works just fine!

Does anyone have an idea as to what might be the problem? Any help would be much appreciated, as this one single issue prevents me from testing my software on Internet Explorer.

Thank you for your time,

Ilya

I am using Selenium IDE 2.8.0
selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar
IEDriverServer_Win32_2.44.0.exe
Internet Explorer 8.0
Windows 7 Enterprise 200 Service Pack 1, 32 bit

The html code is the following: It is the last line that fails.

<!--Preconditions-->
<tr>
    <td>open</td>
    <td>https://company website</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>id=ctl00_MainPlaceHolder_txtUserName</td>
    <td>joe745</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>id=ctl00_MainPlaceHolder_txtPassword</td>
    <td>kd74bhd</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>id=ctl00_MainPlaceHolder_pbSubmit</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>id=ctl00_MainPlaceHolder_AdminLinkButton</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

We would need to see the full html web pages as rendered by Firefox and IE (they may be different) to have any chance of helping you,
