Switching Browsers

hi, i m trying to run the same jscript function on firefox and chrome.

i m setting the variable browser = Sys.Browser()

the first time i call this function, chrome was opened, so the system browser is chrome.

after i close chrome, i open firefox, but the Sys.Browser is still chrome.



how can i test the same jscript function using diffrent browsers.



steps i follow:

1-open chrome

2-set the variable in script browser = Sys.Browser() and do actions on browser.

3-close chrome

4-open FireFox

5-set the variable in script browser = Sys.Browser() and do actions on browser. but the browser is still Chrome.

    Instead of Sys.Browser() use Sys.Browser("nameOfYourBrowser").



    What I do is, I have a project variable browser and whenever I need to change browsers I do:



    function setBrowser(browser)

    {

      Project.Variables.browser = browser

    }



    function useDiffentBrowsers()

    {


       setBrowser("firefox")

       Sys.Browser(Project.Variables.browser).Page.Find(something).Click()

       setBrowser("chrome")

       Sys.Browser(Project.Variables.browser).Page.Find(something).Click()

    }
