[Webtest] [dev] migration to htmlunit issues

[Marc Guillemot]

Salut Dierk,

It seems that I've incorrectly incorporated some recent changes made in the "httpunit version" while working on the 
"htmlunit version".

what should be the behavior? How to have a deterministic behavior if 2 nested frames contain subframes with identical 
names (Httpunit javadoc doesn't say anything about this)?

as already mentionned in a private email, there is a <button> tag without type attribute. Htmlunit considers it as a 
"button" type like what IE does. The standard default type is "submit". As long we are not testing browser differences 
I've explicitely added type="submit" to avoid problems.

what for errors? I see the StepFailedException logged at INFO level for the steps contained in NOT steps. Else is by me 
the build successful.
