@kaguo ahhhh, it works with ChromeDriver but doesn’t with PhantomJS. I’m running latest of both (via Nuget) so I guess now I need to see if I can suppress the Chrome UI and test multi calls.

Selenium is useful but rife with bugs and quirks.
I recommend writing wrappers around calls to simplify your code, and to re-try instructions if they don't behave correctly. Also, delays can help considerably with finicky instructions.

Ok, long shot here. I'm doing a POC using a headless browser (Seleium/PhantomJS (C#)) and it is kicking my tail. Sometimes things work and then they don't. My login code is something like:
private IWebDriver _driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
_driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(LoginURL);
_driver.FindElement(By.Name("txtUser")).SendKeys(UserName);
_driver.FindElement(By.Name("txtPass")).SendKeys(Password);
_driver.FindElement(By.TagName("button")).Click();
and it doesn't find it even though it in in _driver.PageSource.
All the SO stuff is from 2013 and I’ve tried many, many, four days worth of many By.XPath, By.Id, By.Name combinations and it just doesn’t work.

yeah it’s against the rules
