Hi Costin,
I am just using the regular WebTest syntax, I'm afraid I don't really understand your question. For example, I did a test where I used clicklink to click on a Javascript link that pops up a window, and I could use verifytitle on that window. With the HtmlUnit version, we had some problems because some of our pages contained invalid Javascript, and if that happens your WebTest script will get an exception. It forced us to clean up our Javascript. We don't use Javascript very much, but a new part of our system does use it some for navigation and to change appearance of items based on status, so we needed the HtmlUnit version.
I'm not a Java programmer, I'm using WebTest as a tester only, this is probably why I don't understand your issues very well. Sorry!
