Hi All,

I am using selenium-java-2.6.0 and firefox 5.0.1.

When i am executing the line "driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='signIn']")).click();",
it is executing fine.

After i am logging in i need to click on another link. When i attempt to do so i am
getting an exception like "Error java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.common.collect.Maps$TransformedEntriesMap
cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.WebElement"

This excption comes when page changes. Login functionality works fine. It takes some
time to the Main page to get loaded and i have given wait condition. Then i try to
click on a link (I have noticed the link is loaded to the page by then) where i get
the above exception.

Could able to resolve by writing "driver.switchTo().defaultContent();" before the line
where exception was being thrown.
