[Webtest] Forward referencing issue during FrameSet loading

Wed, 13 Jul 2005 16:17:01 +0200

followFrame just selects a frame as the current page. It has already been loaded together with the frameset containing 
it. Perhaps could it be interesting to have a <reload> test step corresponding to the reload button of a browser but it 
is probably easier to fix this pb than to implement the new step. As workaroung, perhaps could you deactivate the 
javascript?
