External pages not recorded with firefox
Status: Pre-Alpha
Brought to you by:

I am running Firefox version 1.0.7 on Fedora Core 4.
The way the record script works is that on every page
change an 'onload' event occurs on the top frame
(record.php) which causes the new page to be recorded
in the tester. This works okay when there are sites on
the same server as the tester, but whenever going to an
external URL nothing is recorded. My suspicion is that
the browser stops the 'onload' javascript from
happening when an external site is accessed.

Recording external pages is not possible because when the
browser detects that the external page is from a different
domain phpautotest is denied access to it.
Domain security is present in other major browsers such as
Internet Explorer and Opera.
