Selenium webdriver using IE browser

Transferred from: http://smilejay.com/2012/09/selenium-webdriver-with-ie/

The Java code below is to open IE browser and then search Google for the "smilejay" keyword.

The above generation runs the line without errors, however, similar programs, if not written well, or IE browser environment is not set, in eclipse may encounter some of the following error prompts.
1. You need to set the driver of IE to "webdriver.ie.driver" variable, otherwise you may encounter error message:

The path to the driver executable must is set by the Webdriver.ie.driver system property; For more information, see Http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver. The latest version can downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list2012-9-2 16:09:02 Org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriverServer Initializelib Warning: This method of starting the IE driver is deprecated And would be removed in selenium 2.26. Download the IEDriverServer.exe from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list and ensure that it's in your PATH.

More hints, you need to add IEDriverServer.exe (downloadable from the Selenium website), and set it up with the following code.
System.setproperty ("Webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\users\\yren9\\workspace\\selenium\\iedriverserver.exe");

2. If Internet Explorer settings are high security, do not select Enable Protected mode in the Internet options, or you may experience the following error message.

There are two workarounds, one is to modify the settings of IE, do not use protected mode under any circumstances (Protected mode), the other is the previous code in the following fragment set IE at runtime capabilities.

3. Even if I have modified the code above (solve 1, 22 problems), there will be some of the following runtime warnings in Eclipse (IE9 on my Win7), some people in the community also reflect this problem, but there is no impact on the function of the test program runtime, As a warning, there is no good solution.
