Some Questions
I've got two questions regarding two separate issues, but rather than make two threads, I've gone this route. If that's not okay, I'll make a separate thread for a second. The first question is...

StaffHi,
You can do this, but you need to modify your tests. The idea is to exclude anything browser-specific (like the process name or windows present in one browser and not in the other one) from it and work only with the page itself and its objects which are the same in all browsers and depend on the page's DOM structure.
See the Cross-Browser Scripting help topic for more information.
You need to edit Name Mapping rather than your test. What you need to do is map each link by unique properties assigned to it. Currently, they seem to be mapped by index. Try mapping them by captions - in this case, you should be able to make buttons always have names bound to numbers they display, and make these names static, no matter how buttons are placed.
The first question is can I take my IE keyword tests(they were captured with IE) and use them on firefox somehow?

Is there any way to have the portion that says link13 in the keywordtest.png be more dynamic and less brittle?
