[Webtest] Newbie help with logon using form and javascript ...

[Lisa Crispin]

Hi James,
Oddly, I got a Javascript error replying to your email!

I'm not an expert at WebTest but here is what I have learned about clicking buttons.

I haven't been able to click any buttons that have Javascript in a WebTest script.  Either I get the programmers to remove the Javascript or provide a way to turn it off for testing.  Or, if that can't be done, I just have to use invoke to get to the page I want, which isn't a great solution but it lets the test continue.

Here is a hint that may or may not help (I don't think it will help with javascript):
button code:   <clickbutton
			stepid="Click Next Page button"
			label="" >
				<form name="rate_form" />
				<index value="0" />
			</clickbutton>

-- Lisa
