I have a question regarding the javascript support of web test.  We have a
javascript method that posts a form based on the user selecting an item from
a drop down list.  The web test script sets the selected item via the
setselectfield task.  But this doesn't seem to trigger the javascript like
it does in a browser.

Is this something that webtest does not yet support? 

Thanks, 

Andy 

The html code (generated by VS.net) looks like: 
.... 
<script language="javascript"> 
 
</script>

... 

      <select name="blah" id="blah" onchange="__doPostBack('blah','')"
language="javascript" >
