ReplyDelete1. Selenium Core i.e. Set of pure JavaScript commands
2. Selenium RC which includes Selenium Server and Selenium Client Lib, In order to execute the JavaScript commands on the web page i.e. Selenium Core commands, the actual Selenium-core JavaScripts should be loaded on the page in which AUT is loading. Also we should make the browser feel as the commands also loading from the same domain from which AUT also loading.
