[Webtest] input type=submit, but clickbutton doesn't find

[Aatish Arora]

Hi Lisa,

No im not a java programmer :)
- but what u just saw is another selling point you
could use for Canoo :)
Other commercial tools like Winrunner / Silktest would
simply refuse to recognize the object ...inwhich case
you would have to use some painful technique to get it
automated.
The parser errors (the invalid html that u saw) help
you to create a clean code - which is more gauranteed
to work on other platforms / browsers (other than
Windows/IE).

You will also notice that invalid Javascript code will
also get caught.

Unfortunately im testing a Swing UI - so cant use
Canoo there :( - anyone else knows of any other good
tools for a Swing UI?


Cheers!
Aatish
