Yes, I had a watch in the source file and I can tell you that you need the=
=20
latest version of HttpUnit (1.6).

In fact it doesn't work when we use form with <BUTTON> tags that don't have=
 a=20
name or a value like this : <BUTTON type=3D"submit">Post</BUTTON> (tested o=
n=20
the site www.theserverside.com for login). When there is a name or/and valu=
e,=20
it should works (not tested).

In fact when you use a <BUTTON type=3D"submit">Post</BUTTON>, the methods :=
=20
Button.getName() and Button.getValue() return an empty String. So with=20
HttpUnit 1.6 there is new methods : Button.getText() and Button.getType()

for the last example :
Button.getText() returns "Post"
Button.getType returns "submit"

So we'll have to play with that to success to locate the button.

I've migrated Cannoo to HttpUnit without apparing problems
(the constructor of WebResponse has change, changing HttpUnit produce 2 err=
ors=20
which I've corrected : replace "new WebResponse(WebClient client,=20
java.lang.String frameName, java.net.URL url)"  by "new WebResponse(WebClie=
nt=20
client, FrameSelector frame, java.net.URL url)". So frameName=3D"" should b=
y=20
converted by null)

So my idea was to add attributes to clickbutton like this :
clickbutton :
type : reffering to the button type (reset, submit)
text : reffering to the text between <Button..>TEXT</Button>

I'm inquiring to understand who can I add this. I'm not really familiar wit=
h=20
Ant for launching application. So I try to understand where it begins.

Bye
