		Hello HN Folks, Is Selenium outdated for the new HTML5 apps? How do you get and test dynamically added Html components, I mean is it possible? Thanks!

Not outdated. It reads from the live DOM and you can execute JS too.

Mozilla and some people on standards committees liked Selenium enough that WebDriver is now a formal standard.

Maybe there are better alternatives, but I haven't come across anything significantly better yet.
