verifyForText function in selenium

verifyTextPresent function in selenium is used to verify whether the Text is present in the page or not.
If not, it returns false.

In my experience, I tried with the click function and followed by this function with wrong value, so that it should return false. But I couldn't see false is returned.

After scratching my head i tried with open and followed by the verifyTextPresent function(as usual with wrong value), it returned false for the invalid data.

Element not found error in Selenium IDE

I often face "element not found error" while executing Test cases in Selenium IDE. After some googling , I found error arises because, Selenium try to execute the command before the page gets loaded.

To over come, use AndWait command before the line where error is occurred

For example, If the flow like

Search button is clicked and a value is selected from the select box and proceed further.

If error occurs while selecting a value in the select box, use clickAndWait command for Search button click. So that Selenium Click the Search button and waits for the page to get load.

Google Blogger Usability Issue

Again I am finding some problem with Blogger. This, time it is usability issue.Whenever I go to new posting I can able to use FONT, TEXT SIZE Options from the toolbar.I kept idle without blogging for three to four days. One fine day I decided to blog, suddenly I found there is no Options for FONT, TEXT SIZE in the toolbar. I was shocked and I don't know how to get back those Options. I made some R & D in SETTING but still I couldn't find out.

At last I decided to do some Googling and I got the answer that those Options are available only at Compose Tab.

Fine Ok no problem that might be a requirement, I am blogging for the past one month, whenever I go to Posting TAB and create a new post, I can find those options without changing the TAB from Edit Html to Compose i.e If you go to new post the default tab will be Compose TAB.

So how it is possible, suddenly default TAB got changed.?
