[Webtest] Forward referencing issue during FrameSet loading

Wed, 13 Jul 2005 19:34:58 +0530

I will open a bug in HTMLUnit. But do you see any workarounds that may =
be tried from Webtest? E.g. when we do followFrame to reload/reparse the =
page (of course based on a flag passed in followFrame).

Regards,

It's clearly an htmlunit issue. Can open a bug issue there with a =
minimal test based on your example?

At the same time this works fine in IE as well as FireFox.
