using apache redirection to have a test/production site

Hi, I've been trying to using apache redirection so that http://myhost/selenium-test-site points either at my development site or my production site. The apache rules simply redirects the URL to the appropriate port on the same machine. The selenium tests works when I use Konqueror but not when I use Firefox ( I get the error "Permission denied to set property: Window.alert" ). I am guessing that this is an over-zealous cross-site scripting security check. I'd like to be able to test with FireFox to ensure browser compatability. I've looked but cannot find a way around this problem. Thanks for any of ideas, CPH

I tried that but was having different problems ( it's Zope which sits behind the apache server and adds other rewriting complexities :( CPH
