Why isn't Selenium capturing my keystrokes?

Question

I'm trying out the recorder of the latest Selenium IDE Firefox extension on win32/ff3.

On one page, currently I have to hit Enter to go to the next page, but it's not on a submit button, it's captured manually. This is not picked up by the recorder. I know I can enter it manually myself after recording, but why isn't this part of it?

Answer 1

From the Selenium FAQ:

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SIDE/FAQ

"Not every event will be recorded by Selenium IDE. Usually the ones that won't be recorded are those that involve complex HTML and/or AJAX. We hope to improve this over time, but there will always be situations where the IDE can't record everything because it has to balance recording too little with too much."

Answer 2

Have you tried with a different browser? Does it happen the same in FF2, IE ? Use the latest nightly version. I know that there are some problems with FF3.
