Manual input from user while running selenium IDE script

Question

can user is able to give manual input while running selenium IDE script? For ex. If there is name field then can we open input box everytime script runs so that user can give hi

Answer 1

You can use the following script to invoke a javascript prompt in order to get the value

    storeEval
    prompt("Please enter your FirstName")
    firstName

Then accessing the value is a case of using ${firstName}.

EDIT: Since Selenium IDE 2.5.0, the script needs to look like this:

    storeEval
    javascript{prompt("Please enter your FirstName")}
    firstName
