Microsoft Silverlight Applications
Some
Microsoft Silverlight applications cause
Internet Explorer to hang when interacting with
Silk Test. On 32-bit platforms, refer to MS KB 2564958 (an update to Active Accessibility) to help prevent the issue.
Locators recorded with
Silk Test versions prior to
Silk Test 13.5 might no longer work in
Internet Explorer
In
Silk Test 13.5, we have adapted the normalization of white spaces of the
textContents attribute in
Internet Explorer. This change was made to improve the cross-browser capabilities of
Silk Test, and might affect locators which rely on the
textContents attribute, and which are used in scripts that were recorded with releases prior to
Silk Test 13.5.

Internet Explorer.
