Re[1]: [Webtest] JavaScript support (again)

By plugins I'm thinking of a way to extend functionality. For example
I'm thinking of verifyxpath and verifylabel - one can write it's own
piece of functionality and places it inside WebTest canoo.

This question is mainly related to the internals of webtest - I didn't
have much time to check the code much but I assume treating javascript
options is the same as with defining any other test (or xml tags)
inside webtest.

Another question (that maybe is obvious but I could not find it inside
the documentation) is the ability of defining a task which can be
available inside xml webtest parses. What are the requirements of
making a new piece of code (for example a regex ) that can have it's
own xml tag for webtest?

maybe I somehow missed something).

>cf htmlunit js' configuration page. How would you like to test them?

I was thinking of having some sample example with the basic functions
from javascript - like onclick & co. You have a simple page and a test
associated (which has an example for fail and one for success).

Thanks for the pointers.
