  a workaround could be, that you use a branch in your script.. like
  
  if(_isFF()) { _textbox(4) }
  else if (_isIE()) { _textbox(0) }
  
  Edit: APIs are others:
  

  Apart from navigator.appName and navigator.userAgent, there are Sahi APIs
  _isIE
  _isFF
  _isFF3
  _isChrome
  _isSafari
  which can be used to check for browsers.

  This workaround works fine with the Textbox fields but not the Checkbox fields.
  
  I am currently using (on IE) -- browser.checkbox(0).near(browser.div("ABCD").check()
  to check the checkbox near the text ABCD.
  
  this script does not work on FireFox. same is the issue with radiobutton fields.

  Hi Divakar and Wormi,
  
  Try not to use the "if" conditions. We need to see why the "near" APIs are not working. Is the checkbox identified as "browser.checkbox" and the div identified as "browser.div" on both browsers?
  In the code you have posted, 'browser.checkbox(0).near(browser.div("ABCD").check() ' is missing a bracket. (May be a typo, so,) could you please post real code here?
  
  Regards,
  Narayan

  Hi Narayan,
  
  Yes it was just a typo.
  
  I have scripts running fine on IE. The 'near' API works fine for checkbox on IE.
  
  The same script does not work on FireFox because of the following reason.
  The attributes of textbox fields are different in FF from IE.
  like the example I said in my previous post, the first textbox on each page is read as textbox(0) on IE and some inconsistent value on FireFox, like textbox(1) or textbox(4)
  
  When used the workaround suggested by Wormi (branching for all textbox fields) I am able to run some script both on IE and FireFox.
  But, this workaround does not seem to work on checkboxes or radiobuttons.
  
  
  my page contains:
  
  Find [ ] (texbox field) [Go] [Reset] [Refresh]
  
  [Actions] (menu bar with some options)
  (checkboxes)

  ---

  [] ABCD
  [] XYZ
  [] PQRS
  
  
  
  my code...:
  
  browser.div("Profiles").click();
  if ("true".equals(browser.fetch("_sahi._isIE()")))
  browser.textbox(0).setValue("ABCD");
  else
  browser.textbox(5).setValue("ABCD");
  
  browser.div("Go[1]").click();
  
  if ("true".equals(browser.fetch("_sahi._isIE()")))
  browser.checkbox(0).near(browser.cell("ABCD")).check();
  else
  browser.checkbox(1).near(browser.cell("ABCD")).check();
  
  browser.waitFor(2000);
  browser.div("Actions[1]").click();
  
  
  
  This runs fine on IE.
  On FireFox, it stops at checking the checkbox. (I have tried providing attribute values from 0 - 15 for checkbox but no luck)
  
  
  
  I have also tried the following code: But this did not even set the textbox value on IE or FF.
  
  browser.div("Profiles").click();
  browser.textbox(0).near(browser.div("Find").setValue("ABCD");
  browser.div("Go[1]").click();
  browser.checkbox(0).near(browser.cell("ABCD")).check();
  
  thanks
