Before we step to the actual integration, there are few requirements that need to be met. Download and install RadControls for Silverlight Download and install Microsoft Expression Media Encoder Download and unzip TelerikThemePackage.zip (The archive contains 3 files - Default.html, player.xaml and preview.jpg) I assume that you have successfully completed the above three tasks. 1. Go to where you have installed Microsoft Expression Media Encoder.

These are due to the fact that Selenium includes external library in order to support XPath in IE too and Firefox supports it internally. So in other words, Selenium XPath support definitely differs in IE ...

Love it or hate it (as those seem to be the only two options), the iPhone is here and there are already over a million people using it to surf the "real Internet" in their pockets.
