[Webtest] Another problem related to javascript

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Lisa,

you're right, this doesn't work currently in htmlunit... but neither in Mozilla for instance. This js code works only in IE.

If you have the possibility to fix the code, the best solution would be to make it cross browser and it would probably 
work in htmlunit as well. Else, if you have plenty of such javascript, you can ask one of your developers to look at 
htmlunit to improve it in this way. I think that it can be fixed without too much changes.

Marc.
