Internet Explorer 8 64bit and Selenium Not working

Question

I am trying to get selenium tests to run. Yet every time I try to run a tests that should run IE I get a error on line 863 of htmlutils.js It says that I should disable my popup

Answer 1

I ran into this on Windows 7 64bit.

My solution was:

1. Disable popup block. - Select "Tools/Popup Blocker/Turn off pop-up blocker"

2. Disable IE protected mode. - Untick "Tools/Internet Options/Security/Enable protected mode"

It'd be better just to disable protected modes for known trusted hosts/addresses. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
