Why does a script work on FF and Chrome but not on IE

WebPageTest General Discussion
1

There’s this weird problem where the following script would work nicely on FF and Chrome but does not work on any version of IE. I tried to debug but no avail and hence seeking your help on this.

Succesful runs:

FF: WebPageTest Test - Running web page performance and optimization tests...
Chrome: WebPageTest Test - Running web page performance and optimization tests...

Failed Runs:
IE 11: WebPageTest Test - Running web page performance and optimization tests...
IE 9 : WebPageTest Test - Running web page performance and optimization tests...
IE 8: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150302_AW_C14/[/quote]

Here’s my script

What gives on IE?

I tried this but it fails in IE too - so you might need to walk through the DOM scripting in IE

combineSteps
navigate	http://www.insight.com/
exec document.getElementById('searchText').value="hp laserjet pro"
execAndWait	document.getElementById('searchBtn').click()
execAndWait	document.getElementById('CE749AR#BGJ_^^HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN - printer - monochrome - laser - remarketed').click()
execAndWait	submitPPPSubmission('main', 'CE749AR#BGJ',false);
execAndWait	location.href = '/insightweb/viewCart';
exec	document.getElementById('j_username').value="keynoteuser1"
exec	document.getElementById('j_password').value="password1"
execAndWait	InsightNavigation.validateLoginSmallWindow();
execAndWait	callShipBillPayPage('shippingOrder');

One thing I did notice while looking at it is that a couple of the strings end with ’ rather than ’

Might have another poke at it later if I get the chance

Let me know if you did. BTW this isnt unique to WebPageTest, I also had Catchpoint Support guys get caught up in the same issue (they use Selenium IDE etc) so definitely points to something on their site
