Marcus, This looks quite good. Is this “free for now” or “free forever”? Keith L. ---

GREAT! I am consulting on a testing engagement where they REALLY need this, but budgeting for another tool (they already have Rational Robot) would be politically impossible. Thanks for releasing this - this will make life easier on a lot of folks! Keith ---

You can also try SW Explorer Automation ([www.webunittesting.com](http://www.webunittesting.com)). The program creates an automation API for any Web application which uses HTML and DHTML and works with Microsoft Internet Explorer. The Web application becomes programmatically accessible from any .NET language. SWEA API provides access to Web application controls and content. The API is generated using SWEA Visual Designer. SWEA Visual Designer helps create programmable objects from Web page content. ---

I am not a sales person. SWExplorerAutomation was developed by me. You can do much more and with less efforts with SWExplorerAutomation than with Watir. BTW. You don’t have to buy SWEA to use it. Good luck with Watir and Ruby! ---

I just noticed that unfortunately this WebRecorder is no longer available for download. I was hoping to give it a try. - Mark
