This page is a repository for user-contributed custom formats and extensions. If you have written a useful format code that can be shared, add it to this page.

For writing custom formats and extensions, see Adding Custom Format and Writing Extensions.

Formats

To add these formats:

1. Download the .js file attached in each page
2. Open Options - Options... in the menu bar, click Formats tab, and click Add
3. A new dialog opens. Enter arbitrary name into "Name of the format" field.
4. Open the downloaded .js file with the text editor, copy and paste the code into the text area in the opened dialog.
5. Click OK in the dialogs.

2. Open Options - Options... in the menu bar.
3. Choose the saved file in "Selenium IDE extensions" field and click OK.
4. Restart Selenium IDE by closing the window and opening it again.

Recording every clicks on page

By default, Selenium IDE only records click events on certain types of elements (e.g. <a>, <input type="button">, ...).
You can record any click events occured in a page by putting the following code as Selenium IDE extension.

Recorder.removeEventHandler('clickLocator');
Recorder.addEventHandler('clickLocator', 'click', function(event) {
if (event.button == 0) {
this.clickLocator = this.findLocator(event.target);
}
}, { capture: true });

Recording clicked coordinates

This extension records "clickAt" commands instead of "click" commands.

Recorder.removeEventHandler('click');
Recorder.addEventHandler('clickAt', 'click', function(event) {
                var x = event.clientX - editor.seleniumAPI.Selenium.prototype.getElementPositionLeft(event.target);
                var y = event.clientY - editor.seleniumAPI.Selenium.prototype.getElementPositionTop(event.target);
                this.record('clickAt', this.findLocator(event.target), x + ',' + y);
        }, { capture: true });
