Using Selenium IDE how to navigate to URL

Question

I'm new to selenium so I've been using the IDE to create tests. I have this problem where Selenium sees a button associated with a drop down menu, but it won't click the button. To get around this i want Selenium to type the URL (for the button i want clicked) into the address bar of fire fox, or I want selenium to just go to said URL via some command, but i can't find said command, and i can't get Selenium to click and type in the address bar.

Solution 1

You can use open command and type the expected url. Just right click on the command window and Insert New Command and follow the screenshot. However, you should find a better way to click the button instead.

Solution 2

I found the open(url) command after i posted this.
