My final thoughts on my problem.

The problem occurs because Selenium starts my application in a frame when started from Java code.

My JS code trys to be smart an loop over all frames looking for a specific property. The code is...

currFrame.document.getElementsByName("synchronizeRequest")

In this case currFrame is "top", which is the Selenium master frame and I don't have crossdomain privilages to access this frame.

Trying to call getElementsByName causes a "Permission denied to get property" exception in the Javascript.

To solve this I have added an extra check. So that I catch the exception and carry on. i.e.

try {
// If window outside out domain, then except will occur. i.e. selenium frame.
currFrame.name;
} catch (err) {
return false;
}
synchroField = currFrame.document.getElementsByName("synchronizeRequest");

To debug the Javascript I set a program arguement in Eclipse when starting the Selenium Server.

The argument...

-firefoxProfileTemplate "C:/Documents and Settings/porterj/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/nbyn5kon.default/"

I hope this information might help someone else out, or me in 6 months when I'm having a 'senior moment'

Thanks

Hi Andras,

I thought I was.

TestClient.java

public void setUp() throws Exception {
setUp("http://localhost:8080/store", "*chrome");
}
