Log :-
when you run your test case,error messages and
information massages showing the progress are displayed in this pane
automatically, even if you do not first select the log tab. These massages are
often useful for test case debugging. Notice the clear button for clearing the
log.
Reference :-
The reference tab is default selection whenever you are
entering or modifying selenese(selenium ide script) commands and parameters in
table mode . in table mode , the reference pane will display documentation on
the current commend. When entering or modifying commands, whether from table or
source mode , it is critically important to ensure that the parameters
specified in the target and value fields
match those specified in the parameter list in the reference pane. The number
of parameters provided must match the number specified, the order of parameters
provided must match the order specified, and the type of parameters provided
must match the type specified .If there is mismatch in any of these three areas, the
command will not run correctly.
UI-Element and rollup
While the reference tab is invaluable as a quick reference,
it is still often necessary to consult the selenium reference document.
Detailed information on these two panes (which cover advanced features ) can be found in the UI-Element Documentation on the help menu of selenium-IDE.
