Silk Test Classic Cannot See Any Children in My Browser Page

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

Problem

Silk Test Classic does not recognize any children in your Web application running on Internet Explorer 6.

Solution

If you are using Internet Explorer 6 and only see a BrowserChild with no child objects within it, enable the third-party browser extensions:

  1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options.
  2. On the Internet Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab and scroll to the Browsing section.
  3. Check Enable third-party browser extensions.
  4. Restart your computer.

This Internet Explorer option is disabled by default in Internet Explorer 6.0.3, which ships with Microsoft Windows Server 2003. If you are using Internet Explorer 6.0.3, you are likely to run into this problem.
