TechieVinoth said... Command that i mentioned should click 'book' option as well automatically. I guess time limit has been exceeded while loading availability list. Try increasing the timeout_step sec to higher number. July 27, 2011 6:44 AM

dileep423 said... no i have tried by increasing time. but book option is not getting selected. availability is coming within 5 or 10 sec plz help me July 27, 2011 7:23 AM

TechieVinoth said... OK. then only option is to try recording ur book button click by changing recording mode to "complete HTM tag" then use newly generated command instead of last line mentioned in my previous command. If it doesn't work try changing browsers.. supported browsers are IE, irefox.. July 27, 2011 8:35 AM
