hi

Selenium IDE is only for firfox and it will not identify anything from IE. But yeah you can write down the testcases manually by using Xpath.

Selenium does not have an IDE for Internet Explorer (any version). I haven't seen any under development either. You can check their http://clearspace.openqa.org/community/selenium/http://seleniumhq.org/ for updates but I their primary focus is FireFox for the IDE.

Selenium can run tests in Internet Explorer (including IE6) using the http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control/. You can record tests with the IDE in FireFox (or write tests in http://seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.html) and then use SeleniumRC to launch IE and run the tests.

For Internet Explorer IDEs similar to what Selenium gives in FireFox, check out http://watin.sourceforge.net/

we can install only selenium IDE in firefox. Selenium RC is a command line tool where we can run test suite in any browser.

Feel free to ask me if you have doubt in installing RC
