[Webtest] Using emulateSetInputFieldAttribute to enable a disabled listbox control

[Denis N. Antonioli]

Hi Chris

emulateSetInputFieldAttribute had been written just for input field =20
(text fields).
As it happens, I had the need this week to activate a select element =20
(pull down menu) and just adapted the code to handle any kind of form =20=

element :-)

Starting with build 989 (from August 18), =20
emulateSetInputFieldAttribute has a new attribute 'tagName' to let =20
webtest know what it should be looking for. The attribute has the =20
default value "input", but you can change it as desired.

Look at webtest's selftests for a comprehensive example.

Happy testing
