With Robot you can both record and play back scripts in both Microsoft Internet
Explorer versions 4.x and later and Netscape Navigator versions 4.x and 4.7x.
Scripts can be recorded and played back on a variety of Windows platforms,
including Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and
Windows 98.
Configuring Your Browser for Testing
Before you record scripts, you should configure Internet Explorer and/or Netscape
Navigator so that scripts play back in the same way that you recorded them. For best
results, configure Internet Explorer and/or Navigator identically on both the
computer that you record scripts on and the computer that you play back scripts on.
In addition, you should disable the cookie prompt.
