 Description  « Hide
To support testing multiple web sites, we should support a "changeDomain" command that will reload the entire browser window under a different domain. (This will require some JS changes.)

One big question: after we've changed domains, what will happen to the AUT? If it's running in an iframe, will that iframe be lost? What if the AUT has created pop-up windows, can we access those? Should we use sub-iframes somehow, instead of reloading the entire page?

I think testing multiple web sites at once is very unusual, so this should be low priority, but it could be really important for someone else.

As for the two major browsers, Firefox and IE there are special launchers, which aren't subject to the XSS policy, I think that this issue is rather a minor one. So far I didn't see the need for a similar functionality - Dan, do you agree to close this defect as resolved by the two special launchers?
