Most cliched Selenium questions...

I see following Selenium questions time and again on multiple Selenium forums (StackOverflow, Google Groups, QAForums) -

  1. Does Selenium IDE work with IE?
  2. How do I read data from excel using Selenium?
  3. Should I use selenium 1 or 2?
  4. How do I handle js error using Selenium?
  5. How do I handle pop up window using Selenium?
  6. Does Selenium support Window application?
  7. How do I upload a file using Selenium?
Well I am am not posting solution for any of these problems as net is filled with all possible solutions for these scenarios.
