In Chrome  For  Selenium IDE   I was also struggling that it doesn t pause  It will pause  if you give as below    Command  pause  Target  blank Value  10000   This will pause for 10 seconds

The pause command can be used directly in the ide in the html format   If using java or C you could use Thread sleep 5000   Time is in milliseconds  Other languages support  sleep 5  or time sleep 5   you have multiple options for just waiting for a set time

This will do what you are looking for in C   WebDriver Selenium 2 0   var browser   new FirefoxDriver    var overallTimeout   Timespan FromSeconds 10   var sleepCycle   TimeSpan FromMiliseconds 50   var wait   new WebDriverWait new SystemClock    browser  overallTimeout  sleepCycle   var hasTimedOut   wait Until     gt     here goes code that looks for the map        And never use Thread Sleep because it makes your tests unreliable

Before the command clickAndWait add the following code so the script will wait until the specific link to be visible       lt tr gt           lt td gt waitForVisible lt  td gt           lt td gt link do something lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt  td gt       lt  tr gt    The practice of using the wait commands instead of pause is most of the times more efficient and more stable

For those working with ant  I use this to indicate a pause of 5 seconds    lt tr gt       lt td gt pause lt  td gt       lt td gt 5000 lt  td gt       lt td gt  lt  td gt   lt  tr gt    That is  target  5000 and value empty  As the reference indicates      pause waitTime       Arguments          waitTime - the amount of time to sleep  in milliseconds          Wait for the specified amount of time  in milliseconds

User · Answer

Use the pause command and enter the number of milliseconds in the Target field   Set speed to fastest  Actions --  Fastest   otherwise it won t work

User · Answer

Your best bet is probably waitForCondition and writing a javascript function that returns true when the map is loaded
