[Windmill-dev] https; file uploads; extjs and click support

[Adam Christian]

Gary,

Again in this case, for the time being I am going to blame the  
JavaScript framework for stopping propagation in a way that makes  
recording these actions nearly impossible.

However, I fixed a bug in the click function keeping it from firing  
the mousedown correctly which stopped it from playing back.

So the solution for now is to click 'Add Action' and set the locator  
using the DOM explorer. As I said earlier, if you want the action to  
work in the future I would set the 'Use XPath only for explorer/ 
recorder' when exploring this action, because those ID's change  
constantly.

The fix is checked into the trunk and will be released in 0.3.6 within  
the next few days.

Sorry we couldn't make this work OOTB, but I will keep my eye out for  
a slicker fix for this rather large issue.
