The Selenium project itself executes tests against IE11 every day, using our CI system[1]. I'm not sure how that helps you, except to confirm that somebody, somewhere is successfully running against IE11. In the future, you're likely to get better, more focused responses by telling us what problems you're encountering.

I run all my tests nightly against IE11 as well.

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your response!!

Below I have described the problem that i am facing with IE11:-

I am using WebDriver for automating regression suite of our webapp, I have tried to get my test scripts functioning with IE11 but have not had any success.

I understand IEDriverServer.exe does not currently support WebDriver and the issue requires cooperation from Microsoft, I have tried the steps outlined in responses to Selenium issue #6511. i.e., (For IE 11 only, you will need to set a registry entry on the target computer so that the driver can maintain a connection to the instance of Internet Explorer it creates. For 32-bit Windows installations, the key you must examine in the registry editor is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE. For 64-bit Windows installations, the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE. Please note that the FEATURE_BFCACHE subkey may or may not be present, and should be created if it is not present. Inside this key, create a DWORD value named iexplore.exe with the value of 0.)

1) Protected mode settings are the same for all zones

2) Enhanced Protected Mode is disabled.

But still when i execute my automation scripts in IE11, It is opening browser and getting below Exception

org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Received a JavaScript error attempting to click on the element using synthetic events.We are assuming this is because the element isn't displayed, but it may be due to other problems with executing JavaScript. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

please help me in how to solve this issue. I need to execute my automation scripts in IE11, It is project requirement and its URGENT.

Version Details:-

1) selenium-2.41.0

2) InternetExplorerDriver server (32-bit) 2.41.0.0

3) Windows 7 - 32 bit

Thanks in Advance!!
