Body
I wondered if anyone had successfully managed, or knew how to automate the Safari web browser on the Windows platform. Ideally I would like to automate Safari in a similar way to using <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa741317.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mshtml</a> for Internet Explorer. Failing that a way to inject JavaScript into the running process would also be fine. I've used the JavaScript injection method to automate Firefox via the <a href="http://www.croczilla.com/jssh" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jssh</a> plug-in. I'm looking to automate the browser using .Net to enhance an existing automation framework <a href="http://watin.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WatiN</a> Edit: Whilst I think selenium might be a great choice for automating Safari in certain scenarios, I would like to use a solution that does not require installing software on the server i.e. Selenium Core or an intermediate proxy server in the case of Selenium Remote Control. Update: 23-03-2009: Whilst I've not yet found a way to automate Safari, I have found a way to automate Webkit inside of Chrome. If you run Chrome using the --remote-shell-port=9999 command line switches (ref: <a href="http://www.ericdlarson.com/misc/chrome_command_line_flags.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.ericdlarson.com/misc/chrome_command_line_flags.html</a>) you can send javascript to the browser. Once connected to the remote debug seesion <ul> <li>Send debug() to attach to the current tab</li> <li>Send any javascript command using print, i.e. print document.window.location.href</li> </ul> We've used this method to add <a href="http://watin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/watin/trunk/src/Core/Native/Chrome/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chrome support to WatiN</a>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
