+Selenium Functional Testing Tool
+(c) ThoughtWorks, Inc., 2004
+- jrhuggins@thoughtworks.com
+
+To run a test suite with just a web browser (no server):
+
+ Open <selenium_home>/javascript/TestRunner.html in your browser.
+ Example: file:///C:/selenium/javascript/TestRunner.html
+
+
+To run a test suite with simple web server:
+
+ 1) Launch <selenium_home>/javascript/startWebServer.bat
+ (An installation of Python is required. This works with 2.3.4,
+ but hasn't been tested with older versions, yet.)
+
+ 2) Open up your browser, then goto the URL:
+ http://localhost:8000/TestRunner.html
+ (If you don't want the web server to run on port 8000, modify
+ <selenium_home>\javascript\tinyWebServer.py)
+
+To run a different test suite from the default, use the URL syntax:
+ ./TestRunner.html?test={my-test-suite}
+
+Supported Browsers:
+ Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+
+ Mozilla 1.6+
+ Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3+
+
+ Other browsers, I'd love to add support for, but havn't yet:
+ Opera, Konqueror, and Safari
+
+Gotchas:
+1) The tinyWebServer included is not meant for production use. It is only
+provided to show a simple, working example of Selenium running from a web server.
+(TODO- provide instructions for installing in Apache or IIS)
+
+2) The tinyWebServer is only available from localhost (unless you hack the source).
+This was done as a security measure.
+
+3) The tests may not complete automatically the first time, because the browser may pop-up alert boxes:
+ a) Asking if you want to remember form values (click "No" or "Never for this site")
+ b) Warning about security implications about posting data unencrypted.
+
+4) You'll need to whitelist "localhost" in your pop-up blocker, if it is enabled.
