There are thousands of software websites which are allowed to access only via Internet Explorer browser. Such IE only software websites are not allowed to access through any other browsers like Firefox or google chrome so you can access such sites In Internet Explorer browser only. Supposing you need to automate such IE only software website using selenium WebDriver. Is there any challenge?

Earlier In THIS POST, we learnt how to run selenium webdriver software test In IE browser. Biggest challenge to automate such IE Only websites Is to find XPath or any other element locator of software web page elements as IE browser do not have any add-on or extension which can provide us XPath or CSSPath directly. Generally we are using Firebug-FirePath Firefox add-on combination (As described In THIS POST) or Element locator for WebDriver Firefox add-on (As described In THIS POST) to get XPath of element. But these Firefox addons are useless as website Is accessible only In IE browser.
