[Webtest] About XPathExplorer ....

[Scot Hale]

Hi All,

I am running into similar problems.  I can't figure out why a form submit 
isn't working ant the htmlparseroutput isn't helpful (I don't see anything 
wrong).
    Is there a way to do a toString() on the HTML DOM to see if there is a 
problem with it?  It would be a cool feature if we could turn debug on and 
print it out to the log.
    I am really hesitant to download the source and build the seperate api's 
that webtest uses, is there any other way at present?
