[Webtest] [dev] Locators

[Marc Guillemot]

in fact a step to select current form exists since 29.10.04. It's not documented because it isn't "webtested" and I had 
forgotten that I added it.

<selectform name="myForm"/>

or

<selectform index="2"/>

Documentation should really be updated, it would perhaps help me to remember what I've already done. ;-)

Marc.
